Greetings from Andrew!

An intra-coffee response about one of my favorite, if
deceased, authors.  A longer one will follow after the
caffeine has its way with my neural system....

The Lord Darcy series, by Randall Garret is set in an
historically alternate universe (the Plantagent line
never left England's throne), but the magic system he
posited requires that any strong 'good' magician be at
least a communicant of the Roman church. Darcy's usual
assistant is a priest, and the chief of his
intelligence/police agency is a bishop (the Bishop of
London, IIRC).

Cheers,

Drieux
