Admittedly, in GSW (Goblin Slayer World), the structure and values of religion is left rather vauge. What we are told, (I don't remeber which chapter) is that GSW is basically a D&D game played by the Gods. However, several characters pray to Gods, and get spell from them, a connection that it never made clear. What is made clear is that some spells are prayers to the Gods and spirits, and some are skills the way Algebra is a skill. Now, IRL (in real life) the Catholic Church has a heiarchy. The Pope is on top, and beneath him are the Cardinals (the dudes in red) who make up his council. Beneath them are the Archbishops, then regular Bishops, and final the local preists. I may have missed a step here or there but thats the basic setup. Its basically a way of saying that Sword Maiden has real political power/importance in adittion to being a Gold Ranked adveturer, but without being in confidance of GWS's pope. That would take her interests away from saving a city, but into the relms of expanding the influence of the Supreme God religion, and that's Game of Thrones stuff.
