Castus Veneratus

The Castus Veneratus is the highest-ranking member of the Clergy in the Proximian Faith. The Castus Veneratus is responsible for the maintenance, placement, and hierarchical administration of all Proximian temples, convents, holy sites and places of spiritual significance.

The Castus Veneratus, as well as the Proximus Vitem Mortem, are the only two figures who are capable of translating Divine Prophecy.

It is the duty of the Castus to ensure the maintenance of all locales associated with the Faith, the collection of tithes, and the finances for each temple. It is within the right of the Castus Veneratus to appoint members of the clergy, including the appointment of members to various Orders within the Temple.

The Castus is second only to the Proximus Vitem Mortem in interpretation of The Proxima: and its holy rites and rituals. It is within the responsibilities of the Castus Veneratus to ensure that all Faith-based rituals are adhered and executed appropriately.
