			The Sabbat does much to earn its reputation as a
			bloodthirsty sect of fanatical vampire supremacists,
			but the actual philosophy of the sect is much more
			sophisticated. The sect has a long history of associa-
			tion with Catholic rite and culture, and one of the
			great philosophical centers of the Black Hand is São
			Paulo, in particular the São Paulo See Metropolitan
			Cathedral. The church itself is a symbol of the city,
			and few of the 40 million mortal inhabitants of the
			city realize that such an important Cainite institution
			exists beneath their home. Second only to the seat of
			the Regent in Mexico City, São Paulo is emerging as
			the spiritual center of the sect.

			An ecumenical council for the Black Hand meets
			annually in the crypts beneath the Catedral da Sé,
			where it observes and codifies all of the Sabbat’s ''auc-
			toritas ritae.'' Archbishops, Bishops, Prisci, and other
			leaders of the sect attend this council by invitation
			only, and being asked to attend is both an enormous
			sect honor and a chance to shape the Black Hand’s
			religious policy.The Archbishop of São Paulo also
			hosts numerous deliberative diets, where Bishops and
			luminary Pack Priests can share and propose new ''ritae''
			as well as study and debate matters directly related to
			Sabbat theology. These diets host no small amount
			of discussion regarding the Paths of Enlightenment in
			addition to codified sacrament.

			The presence of such an important religious insti-
			tution for the Sabbat rankles some of the Old World
			elders of the sect, who believe that the Black Hand’s
			religious center should remain closer to the Vatican,
			or at least in Europe as the historical stronghold of
			Catholicism. This issue has yet to truly form a divide
			among the spiritual leaders of the Black Hand, but
			as sect outlook grows more dire and the End Times
			loom, the potential for a full-fledged schism among the
			priests of the sect becomes an increasing possibility.
