I've always been interested in making a devout catholic magician character, but I only have the rulebook and it doesn't make much mention of catholic views of magic past that it's ok as long as it's for good. I'm looking into the core beliefs of catholicism and I'm going to try to apply them to the happenings in 2070, but I was wondering if there was any slightly more solid interpretations. I was also wondering which attribute would help drain resistance. I was thinking charisma, because, to stereotype, catholics are typically charismatic. or at least they are to me.

any thoughts?
