We could attempt to act like we are trying to convert our trainer to the churches way. It will kinda help our standing and if we inform our trainer about it he can act like he's kinda starting to convert making it more convincable.
That is a great idea, you are a genius... If only I had a certificate to give you... if only...
What if his superiors are his friends?
Do you think they would seriously consider removing a
priest who up to this point has been very loyal to the church?
If he were of any particular value or importance to them do you think they would have assigned him to a totally unimportant backwater village like ours?
Most likely, the church assigns priests to villages for years at a time as part of a standard training regiment. Our priest was assigned here either because he's not highly regarded, and was therefore assigned a bad post, or more likely he's simply new and has no connections, and was therefore assigned post of no particular value.
Why would they listen to the owner of that fief? How much more wieght does the owner of a backwater village have than the priest of that back water village? The priest is a member of their organization and any organization is more inclinded to listen to it's own members.
And more importantely the church hates us because of the trainer and removing the priest will do nothing to solve our long term problems with the church.
