I'm glad I realized it when I did or I might have pushed things so far, things would have broken down on me and made it less likely that I could fix it later. I was treating this like the main portion of a novel and it isn't, really; Jude doesn't have enough story line or knowledge of what's going on to stretch it that far. So now it's just a straight shot to meeting Aoife and then Byron, which I think is what this needs. Taking too much time to explore the Church and how it works when the story is mostly about Witches doing bad things would just mess with the flow of the whole story, anyway.

Once Jude and Aoife/Byron meet, however, I think Jude can slow down and learn and play the audience stand-in for a bit. Matt wanted most of the story to be separate and I tried, but it's just not working for Jude. Later stories will have the time to explore the Church more.

I'll see if I can find it. It's on my computer somewhere, but folders being what they are. There's a shortened version of it in a Character Sketch round from a while back...
