Changes

The Ministorum also includes an administrative bureaucracy, the [[Creed Temporal]], headed by [[Deacon|Arch-Deacons]], who controls all secular business. Arch-Deacons are the administrative counterparts to Cardinals, responsible for the temporal affairs of an entire diocese. Their servants deal with the money entering and leaving a specific diocese or parish, regulate the construction of new shrines and temples and deal with the other physical requirements of the organisation.

{{Main|Adepta Sororitas}}

As the Ministorum's power has grown, a number of sub-organisations have developed within its compass. An interesting example of this is the Adepta Sororitas, a penitent order of women. The Sisterhood, as it is generally known, is expected to maintain a close watch on all servants and departments of the Imperium.{{Fn|2}} Its Militant Orders, the [[Sisters of Battle]], act as the military arm of the Ecclesiarchy.

{{main|Frateris Templar}}

The '''Frateris Templar''' were the original, all-male army of [[Goge Vandire]]. They were destroyed by a [[Warp storm]] while en route to [[Dimmamar]] to pacify the rebellious Confederation of Light. The storm became known as the [[Storm of the Emperor's Wrath]]. They have since been disbanded, and their roles have been assumed by the Sisters of Battle.

{{main|Frateris Militia}}

The unofficial armies of the Ministorum, the religiously-motivated '''Frateris''' fight wars of faith against the enemies of the Imperium.

*{{Main|Missionarius Galaxia}}

Missionary work is an important institution of the Ecclesiarchy; its purpose is to bring rediscovered [[human]] worlds into the fold of the Imperial cult. For this purpose, Missionaries always accompany Imperial exploratory vessels in case human worlds are rediscovered.{{Fn|1}}

Missionaries also run charitable Missions, which are schools or hospitals on newly discovered or primitive worlds. When human worlds are rediscovered Missions are usually immediately established. Part of the purpose of these Missions is to further the worship of the [[Emperor]] and Imperial ideals. They are also vital in evaluating populations for signs of [[psychic]] and genetic [[mutation]].{{Fn|3}}

{{main|Schola Progenium}}

'''Schola Progenia''' are the orphanages run by the Ministorum specifically to raise and train the sons and daughters of Imperial servants who have given their lives in service. The orphans receive a strict orthodox Imperial cult education, and soon come to regard the Emperor as their spiritual father. Their upbringings will have made them loyal and devoted adherents to the Imperial cause and instilled in them a selfless ambition to serve the Imperium and humanity. These qualities make them well suited to service in many of the organisations of the Imperium - the schools of the Schola Progenium providing a good portion of [[Imperial Guard]] and [[Imperial Navy|Navy]] officials, [[Commissar]]s, [[Assassin]]s, [[Adeptus Arbites|Arbitrator]]s and [[Inquisitor]]s. Female progena often enter the Adepta Sororitas. Other progena become members of the Ministorum clergy.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|3}}
