Cult Of The Saints

The Cult of the Saints is the foundational practice upon which is built the entire Church. Despite its somewhat sinister sounding name, the term 'Cult' is used here only to refer to a recognized body of followers or disciples. The Cult of a Saint need not even be that well organized, they merely need have the veneration of the Saint in question to tie them all together.
== Facts: ==
-Also known as a 'Cultus' or simply a Following. 
-A Saints Cult is important to Priest Adepts because it is that group which venerates a Saint which can gain some of his special holiness and attributes. A Priest who venerates St. Joseph the Carpenter could, for example, develop holy powers associate with that Saint. 
-Cults are not regulated by the Church (that is, by the Sanhedrin), however the Church does investigate the worthiness of a purported Saint to determine whether it will recognize the legitimacy of a Saint's holiness and their Cult.
