OK.

In my quest to continually do things that make people scratch their heads, I decided to chargen a Catholic priest for SR4.

Not a New Templar type, just your average mundane priest.

Questions this raises:

1. How to represent their vows? Do any qualities work?
2. What skills would work to represent undergrad and seminary training?

Things I've decided:

1. It would be the rare priest, I think, who did not know at least one modern language besides their native tongue;
2. The priest must take their bishop (At least C 4) as a contact; If a religious, they must also take their provincial (again, at least C 4). Those whose bishop is in fact a Cardinal, their bishop is C 6 (There are no more than 120 active (under-80) cardinals at any one time, and the Church has a mandatory retirement age of 75 for everybody except the Pope, so it's not as insane as it sounds).

In case you're wondering, in the US, the sees traditionally held by Cardinals are:
New York
Boston
Washington (DC)
Baltimore
Los Angeles
Chicago
Detroit
Philadelphia

Going by Runner Havens, apparently Seattle also got itself a red hat...I'm wondering now where else in the former US and Canada would win itself a cardinal.
