I am disturbed by the contents of this discussion, a discussion that has veered into grave error on several occasions. I have also received numerous petitions on the matter of the selection of candidate champions by the Royal Heirs and it is clear that I must speak on the matter.
Be it known that this communication represents the settled will of the Imperial Succession Committee after due consideration of all facts and particulars placed before it by candidate champions, representatives of the Royal Heirs, the Ministry of Internal Order and the Order of St. Tetrimon.
In choosing to make this a trial of capsuleer champions, as was stated by my Lord Pomik Haromi, the prowess of defenders of Holy Amarr was very much in mind. True, it is, that faithfulness and piety must also be accorded due regard but loyalty and the faith that is kindled by martial excellence is critical to these trials.
The Royal Heirs are accorded considerable latitude by the Imperial Succession Committee in their selection of candidate champions. The Ministry of Internal Order has satisfied itself that the candidates confirmed by the Houses have sound records of strong loyalty or martial friendship to Holy Amarr. In addition, many are great fighters against rebel incursions or heretical pirates, anarchists and cultists.
All complaints laid thus far have been found without merit on examination.
But that is not all. The most disturbing aspect of these discussions has been the questioning of the Imperial Succession by capsuleer pilots otherwise held long loyal to Holy Amarr. This questioning of the rightful order of Holy Amarr is iniquitous against a background where the Empire is threatened by foes old and new. This querulous faithlessness must cease.
One further matter, the Order of St. Tetrimon has declared that interference with the remains of righteous participants in the Trials of the Champions, whether they be of champions, retainers or faithful crews, will be grounds for sanction and may imperil the standing of Champions in the Trials. In this we are in perfect accord with the Order of St. Tetrimon.

Your Grace, your words have been noted, and I will heed them well.
However, I would appreciate it if you could clarify the following point:
If being a Sani Sabik cultist is not in contradiction with being a good Amarrian, then why did the Cult of Catechization call its 47th Crusade Against Heresy?
