Holy See

From Berserk Wiki

[edit] Headline text

Similar to the Catholic Church in structure. Their insignia is a hawk in flight, with two orbs forming a helix around it. Much of the Holy See's doctrine is based on a strict conduct of purging oneself from sin, and ultimately, preparing oneself for the coming of God. However, beneath that veil, in conjunction with the Nobles, the Holy See monopolizes the wealth of the world.

The head of the Holy See is the Pope. Before the Kushan attack on Vritanis, he dreamt of the White Hawk who brought him back from the brink of death, followed by Mule and Sonia as Griffith's ambassadors. Upon meeting Griffith, the Pope prostrated before him, announcing him the savior, ending the protest of Midland's nobles about Griffith's claim as the leader of Midland's armies.

[edit] Faith

The basis of this church is to instill faith and hope, much like the Catholic Church during the Dark Ages, and many fans have assumed thats it has the 10 commandments, a messiah, a holy mother, and a god. Although the name of said god is unknown, most fans assume it is the God Hand.
