Adeptus Ministorum

The Adeptus Ministorum, or also called the Ecclesiarchy as it is more commonly known, is one of the biggest organisations in the Imperium. They are the upholders of the Imperial Cult, which is founded on the worship of the Emperor. Through its Preachers, Confessors, Missionaries and Cardinals the Ecclesiarchy controls the veneration of the masses, giving their homage an organised focus. The Imperial Creed practised by the Ecclesiarchy and its billions of adherents is the only official religion of the Imperium. Although the interpretation of the Ecclesiarchy's dogma can vary and any extreme deviance from its strictures is considered heresy and is dealt with most severely.
