History
The Seat of the Saints (Japanese: 聖徒の座, Hepburn: Seito no Za) was established as a highly specialized, elite sub-unit within the Vatican's Congregation for the Causes of Saints to modernize and strictly control the verification of supernatural phenomena. Its early history was rooted in the Church's ancient need to distinguish between genuine divine intervention and the 'unregulated saints market' of the Middle Ages, during which local cults often canonized individuals without central oversight. Thus, it was defined by a mandate to modernize the Church's ancient miracle-verification process, which had shifted from popular acclamation in the 12th century to a centralized, total papal authority by the 17th century. Functioning as a elite task force, the Seat was tasked with applying rigorous scientific inquiry and cryptanalysis to distinguish divine intervention from the fraudulent activities of Galdoune, an ancient, shadowy organization that had been conducting alchemical and scientific experiments to manipulate the Vatican.
Overview
In appearance, the Seat of the Saints was an organization in the Vatican that functioned as a secretive and elite organization within the Vatican dedicated to the rigorous investigation of reported miracles across the globe. This specialized unit was established as an element of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints.
It operated as a clandestine council under the supervision of an Archbishop who vetted for their exceptional brilliance in fields like science and linguistics—functioned as the Vatican's most elite 'miracle examiners'. The organization was not merely a collection of offices but a formidable intellectual fortress, serving as the front line against both fraudulent spiritual claims and the deep-seated conspiracies. This projected a sense of absolute clerical discipline, masking a complex network of investigators who used advanced scientific equipment alongside traditional theology to safeguard the Church's reputation from exploitation.
