Oh, the church. It was still a bit of a sore subject for Ramza. He still held a tentative belief in God, despite his discovery that the Church he had grown up in was based on lies.
"The Priests of Ivalice teach that one cannot change his destiny. Those born low remain low, while those of noble lines stay noble. Only by the will of the Creator, or by the intervention of Saint Ajora, can one hope to rise above their lot in life." Looking at it from an outside perspective, it seemed so obvious that the teachings were a ploy to keep control over the masses and to please those in power. Ramza sighed.
"Their 'saint' was a traitor and their highest priests villains. Everything they taught was a lie. It is possible to change your fate, if you reply on yourself instead of on some divine figurehead." That probably made little difference to someone who had foreseen her own death, but Ramza hoped she could glean what comfort there was from free will.
