In a curious move from the Roman Catholic Church, it was found that the Catholic spiritual adviser, Archbishop Elizabeth McGuffin, is actually a man. The information was leaked from a briefing document for Madame-President Valjena Orsov concerning the appointment of a spiritual advisor to the President's Office.

The Catholic See of Pablovorsk would not comment on the revelations, but it is understood that it was not aware of Archbishop McGuffin's true sex. The Archbishop himself expressed surprise at this reaction, stating that "they [fellow clergy members of his diocese] must've been aware of something, I find it hard to believe that they didn't know anything."

Catholic watch-dog groups have responded heatedly to this revelation, putting pressure on the Church to remove the Archbishop from their ranks. The See has yet to decide on a course of action.

The President's office made the comment that it would not judge Archbishop McGuffin on his private proclivities, and he was due an equal consideration with other candidates, as the Constitution of the Commonwealth dictates. It is widely expected that the President's Office will endorse liberal Prudence Bush as their advisor, promoting an open, and pluralistic approach to religious practice.
