I agree with Ori in some ways, in particular re the
inexcusability of many of the Increate's actions, such
as the immolation of the Commonwealth's people that
Ushas may arise. But Ori, aren't you approaching the
matter of whether the Hierogrammates serve the
Increate or themselves rather unsubtly, with a
curiously RELIGIOUS hammer-and-tongs zeal? Surely a
striking attribute of Catholicism, in contrast, is its
theological subtlety, its emphasis on the mediation of
all Divine influences through sacraments, priests,
etc.; so why not aliens? Wolfe is hardly going to show
us the Increate giving Tzadkiel his instructions for
the day; such a process is necessarily presented by
remote implication only.
