    Interesting that despite Hell's direct interference to the communion to the saints, the forgeries and theor attempts of corruption, they did not say even once that they have corrupted the Saint directly. Always they target the mortals. And I doubt the prideful, vain demons would keep quiet if they managed to corrupt a Saint. Which means, despite Hell's best efforts, they cannot corupt a mortal soul that has been embraced by God like those of the Saints.

      @@JaimeBlackwater-io6vlbecause not all souls fully want to be with God. You, an atheist, me , an albanian catholic, and a random monk all have the same opportunities to become saints. But will you devout yourself to live just like you were in Heaven? Heaven is an upside down kingdom where you will have to serve the ones below you just like God does. Will you devout your life to serving to others , washing their feet, expect nothing in exchange just out of sheer love for others and God? No, you won’t and therefore you will never become a Saint and perform miracles.

      The lore implies that the Metachrist are malformed both physically and mentally, relying heavily on the "translation" of Mendelist Monks: "Its ruined mouth could not form the words, but it grunted noises that the mendelist monk translated as "Take, eat; this is my body." And the meta-christ did leak blood from its eyes and mouth, which the medelist monk caught in a chalice, once again translating the meta-christ's painful noises, "Drink ye all of it..."
      So it doesn't seem to hold the divine wisdom and premonition the Saints have. Better to leave them as is.
