You say that as if it would be easy and cost nothing. But everything the Inquisition spends time, effort, and favor doing means that those resources are not available to be spent elsewhere. Is it really the wisest course to go out on a limb--and ask our allies to do the same--to try to clear the names of rifters? When they are so few, and we still know so little of them, and no real harm has been done to them that can't be handled through the usual channels?

We would be better served spending our efforts on ensuring that the next Divine is someone who will be open to the notion of Rifters. Even if we could get a statement made now, it would be worthless when new leadership is chosen and likely doom the candidacy of whoever made it.
