Oh, My dear brother...

I'm not sure where You are obtaining your information, but so far the
Church is genuinely puzzled about who might have defiled Pandora's
shrines, and I hear Her followers are just as puzzled, not knowing of
any such attacks. We do not condone nor support any attacks upon Her
shrines. Should You present to Me or the Prelacy solid evidence of such
attacks by Churchmembers, You have My word that we will deal directly
and swiftly with those members, and they will wear My own disfavour.

However, the Church stands by its values, including those that outline
fighting Chaos. So long as You insist on taking the part protecting Your
wife, there will always be conflict between You and the forces of Good.
Would that it could be different... and perhaps it can be.

You see, brother, we take the long view. Chaos always has been, and
always will be, a dire threat to Creation. Perhaps the events from so
long ago have faded in Your mind. Eris, like Me, was not in present form
at that time... but You were there, and thus You should remember how it
felt to find that Maya had been raped, and when Entropy and Discord
descended upon Creation. Recall the power of them, remember that the
Logos Himself was unable to destroy these forces, but could only
disperse them, and was forced to do so before You and all Our siblings
were destroyed.

This is the realm Your ladywife patrons. Your dear spouse, who has since
fallen into madness, who does not even recognise You but thinks You are
Her son full-grown. What keeps Her from being the portal that unleashes
the denizens of Chaos upon our realm? No one knows.

Could She? I find it quite likely.

Chaos would destroy us and take this realm as its own, despite the
rainbows its followers attempt to weave around it to make it palatable.
Thus, we of Good do summarily and eternally oppose it.

My brother, think about this and think deeply. The greatest threat to
Your children, both of them, comes not from the Church, or from any
mortal organisation. It comes from forces such as Chaos, the same Chaos
You protect in the form of Your sadly fallen wife. You, and Your
dedication, threaten the safety of Pandora and Pandemonium far more than
I, My patronages, My siblings in Good, or Our followers.

Go with the love that leads most of Your family to a more secure future,
Aegis, not the one that threatens destruction of Yourself and,
ironically, everything You love.

My heart aches as I write this, knowing the decision You must either
face or deny. I pray You will choose with wisdom and with open eyes.
