That was quite a sorry state she was in. Almost like something out of a hentai doujin.

Wolf slipped way back in time. Maybe centuries. He encountered Rory from a time when the cult of Emroy was ... different. Perhaps the priests decided to gain some kind of control over the Apostle by holding her body hostage, but in any case she was able to get around with only her head on a golem body. With Wolf's help, she was able to gain entrance into the temple (Wolf carrying Rory piggyback cuts quite an imposing figure). There they found her body in pieces, but were able to reassemble her.

She was hungry after healing herself, and Wolf had the Japanese snack things for her. In the "present" day, she vaguely remembers the flavor.

I am really curious what sort of reasoning those priest had to literally steal the body of a LITERAL holy figure of their faith.

I mean... Rory isn't just a figurehead of their faith, she is a chosen one of their god, who very much exists, that gave her a lot of powers. I would think that even touching her without permission is a sin.

And it doesn't stop there... how even they stole her body and how she ended up with such an elaborate construct as a substitute?

There is a LOT of story in this little extra.

And Jesus was treated as a heretic despite being literally god incarnate.

Regardless if you are Christian or believe in the bible stories, it's just one of many examples that religions of every stripe ironically have some degree of self-awareness that dogmatism and self-interests can create justifications for anything in the name of religion, including desecration.

You know... you are completely right.

Not even if Jesus himself were reborn again with all his power (or any other holy figure for that matter), someone in the religion WOULD find some way, any way, to go against.

And truth be told... in a way I agree with that, I believe that anything worth being followed should accept and hold against disagreement, which clearly is the root not only of enlightenment but petty discordance too.
