The Holy Spirit Sect had always been a never-changing leader among religions, ever since ancient eras. Though it was sometimes overtaken by other religions, it always bounced back to the top within a generation or two.
It has deeply integrated into all Western Continent customs, becoming an inseparable part of life, making it impossible to view as a cult.
On the other hand, the Eternal Sect has the potential to turn into a cult. Although it's known as the Aran National Religion, many people still celebrate Holy Spirit Sect festivals.
The Stargazing Festival was created by the Holy Spirit Sect, for instance.
The delusions of grandeur peaked recently, like when they outright captured Lagrange, a figure personally praised by the Emperor. He was taken just like that—a reckless move. When the Pope was intensively searching and found two dragons on the missionary route, he knew things were about to get chaotic.
Damn.
