What if there was a person—or a small group in your community—who believed themselves to be perpetually connected to universal truth? Imagine they saw themselves as keepers of the Custos Morum, the guardians of morality, armed with powerful analytical skills, and living in a constant state of ultimate discernment.

Sounds useful, right?
