Editing Ministorum Priest (section)

== Overview ==

Confessors use their oratory skills to stir the emotions of entire crowds, leading them to confess personal heresies and mutations, and to betray their neighbors as psykers or other deviants. They are free to wander within an entire diocese and preach among the population.

They often work on Imperial colonies with planetary governors and are especially useful on worlds where faith is lacking and the people are rebellious. With special dispensation from the Ecclesiarchy, they may even gather armies of Frateris Militia and lead wars of faith against the enemies of the Imperium. Confessors often wear the Rosarius as both protection and a symbol of their rank (and yet the Brides of the Emperor for all their devotion and this device's public knowledge and high esteem were ignorant of it. So much for being faithful).

A Confessor attached to the Missionarus Galaxia is styled Confessor-Militant. There is also the '''Arch-Confessors''', which are the highest rank of Confessor. These servants of the Imperial Creed are exceptional orators who can have swathes of citizens rush forward to confess their sins.

All in all, Confessors are the hypeman that drums up how cool the [[Imperial Cult]] is with loud and bombastic speeches whereas the Missionaries use the more quiet, charismatic and diplomatic approach.

It is unknown if [[Goge Vandire]] was a Confessor before he became full blown Space Stalin, however, with the way he rolled during the Age of Apostasy, it wouldn't surprise us.
