Church

The Church is a powerful but weakening organization within the Spice and Wolf universe, although it is never actually explicitly mentioned what religion it was, but it was heavily implied that the Church is based on the Roman Catholic Church. The Church's influence is vast and great, anything the Church says people must obey, even the king. Anything the Church views as heretic will have serious problems in the future, considering the various historical references the series make. This first became appearent during coin speculation/insider trading incident in which the Medio Trading Company kidnaps Holo and uses her as leverage to make Milone Trading Company look like Heretics.
