'''NOTE''': Several pages may have incorrect information regarding the Church. Where possible, these should be updated to match what is detailed here. In particular, while ''Catholic'' is a meaningful adjective, this wiki shouldn't contain any reference to Christianity (which, whether true or not, has been forgotten some time in the next 8000 years)

The word '''church''' has 3 possible meanings, being the 3 parts of the [[Divine Trinity]]:

# The [[Catholic Church]] (sometimes ''The Church'' or ''The Church in Heaven''; sometimes (heretically) ''God'') is an intangible, omniscient and perfect force which is the source of all good in the universe. Some [[cult]]s believe that the Church and the universe are one and the same, while others envision their deity as being as close as the other side of a map, as complex as the universe but intelligent and structured (in which case the [[Vaultof Heaven]] can be seen as the layer in between)

# The [[Terran Church]] (sometimes ''The Church'' or ''Terra'') is an organisation blessed with dominion over the world of men, a physical manifestation of the Divine Church. Ruled by the [[Hierarchs]] and 7 [[Grand Synod]]s, it is the only perfect thing in our world and cannot be questioned.

# The [[Mortal Church]] (otherwise known as ''The [[Pope]]'', or ''The Church Made Flesh'') is one man who rules over the church. The only part of the church to be mortal (and therefore fallible), the Pope is a connection between man and divinity.

(it should be noted that the word Church never describes a building; for that, see [[Chapel]] or [[Cathedral]])
