The Magisterium is a highly diverse organisation. The Magisterium is so decentralised and nationalised that some would call it a Confederation of religious bodies broadly sharing the same belief system. In reality, the Magisterium in each country promotes different values and navigates the politics of its country differently such that they are hardly similar.
For instance, the Magisterium in Packilvania is usually seen as promoting the conservative, authoritarian, nationalistic and militaristic values of the Bedonite dynasty. Conversely, the Magisterium in the Free Pax States is seen as progressive, liberal and inclusive. Furthermore, different Magisteriums have to deal with different contexts. The Magisterium in Packilvania and to a lesser extent in [[Drakkengard]] operates under the tyrannical rule of [[Sultan of Packilvania]] [[Namdun III]] whereas the Magisterium in Free Pax States operates in a liberal democratic society with freedom of religion.
In some ways,
Aside from the local issues and contexts that the Magisterium is faced with, there are also conflicting interests at a global level. There is a push by the Magisterium in liberal democracies to promote women and members of the LGBT community to positions on the Magisterium. The Magisterium in Conservative countries continues to oppose these reforms. Vested economic interests are also an influencing factor as some countries have their Magisterium supported in part by commercial and political interests, leaving them exposed to external political and commercial forces. Others completely and solely rely on donations and fundraising to get by. Thus, there are ongoing debates about how resources are shared and whether to accept aid from one part of the Magisterium because of political differences with the governments and businesses that fund them.
