Description[?]:
| Mr Speaker, The Good Folk suggest that it would be in the interest of the nation as a whole if we gained a more thorough regulation of the religious establishments of this nation. This is in the interest of the people as a whole, we should not let mad cults or radical sects prey on the poor, the weak and the young and threaten both their mental health as well as our security. The Good Folk also wishes to reaffirm the status of Hosianism as the official state religion of Aloria. Tristan Sailor, Tanist (WD) |
