Here we go with the "Evil Church" trope. Fuck me.
To add a little to what's been said, positions of trust and authority naturally attract those that would abuse them. The reason you see so many cases of domestic violence among police or predication among priests is because they are positions where they would have access to their would-be victims while having very little scrutiny or oversite. Then, a theocracy is built exclusively on positions of trust. The people would not scrutinize the church leaders or question doctrine, so people with bad intentions naturally move in.

Of course, that's not quite the case here. Dudes just too nuts to know the difference a revival miracle and completed necroma-.........IS there a difference between?

Again... Which annoyed me to no FCKING END.
I fcking get it in real life that yes the church or any FORM OF RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS can be viewed as evil due to their shady ways. I am also so livid at the fact that it does not matter it is made up of religion in fiction. It stills irks me to no end. Give me ONE GOOD RELIGIOUS INSTITUTION THAT WHILE YES THEY'RE SHADY FOR A GOOD REASON BUT THEY'RE STILL VIEW AS THE GOOD GUYS IN THE STORY.... like gosh damn. it

it's based on reality
Not really.

I mean, there's a real world church that covered up pedophiles violating the children of their parishioners, so...
Sure. Not like any other large organization full of corrupt people and useful idiots certainly doesn't exist.

But to actually make a point. Just because there are corrupt people in church doesn't mean the religion is bad. Pretty sure when those scandals were exposed actual church goers did not condone their actions.

Haha, surely you aren't thinking Japan of all places would pick that as the reason for depicting a suspiciously Christian-looking fantasy religion as an evil/corrupt entity in too many fantasy/isekai series to count.

I wonder WHY this is such a common trope in fictional medieval-like settings, a total mystery if I dare say, amirite?
Japan decided to get rid of the Christian church back in the day, in the 17th century, executing every single believer who didn't renounce their faith. Probably ever since then, there has been such an underlying current that makes it easy for Japanese authors to use a Christian look-alike religion as a villainous entity in fiction.

So freaking funny. 400 years ago, bloodthristy warlords rejected the Lord and expeled all His servants only to welcome in godless merchants into their brothel island. Now 'tis the land of anime and wage slavery and still they're salty about the missionaries.
Truly the Lord works in mysterious ways

You wonder because godless capitalist oligarchs own everything that informs your worldview.
Because everything you think you know about the medieval era was shown to you by hollywood

Also this manga's aesthetic is from 16th to 19th century, not from the 9th to 14th
