MAMMONITE

    "And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and 
    dwell therein in safety".  [Leviticus 25.19]

    "And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
    And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked 
    up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to 
    his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he 
    among them all.
    And they did all eat, and were filled".  [St. Mark 7.40-42]

  Mammonites feel that most Angels' priorities are insufficiently 
practical and down to earth.  They are no less dedicated than other 
Angels, but attempt to work through worldly concerns that other Angels 
spurn as unworthy.  In particular, they are concerned with the 
distribution of goods, services and wealth.

REQUIRED ADVANTAGES:  Wealthy (or higher) (+20), Charisma +3 (+15).
REQUIRED DISADVANTAGES:  Due to their close connection to less spiritual 
matters, Mammonites have become forced to both sleep and breathe (40 
points off the Angel Package).

CELESTIAL MAMMONITE

  Much of humanity is oppressed by horrendous poverty.  Yet, for some 
reason, we Angels turn a blind eye to this, and concern ourselves only 
with romantic quests for abstract goods.  It is not that virtue is 
unimportant, but it is hard for a human to think about virtue when they 
have nothing to eat.  No less important is the need for us to show some 
virtue.  So often, it is easy to concentrate on what the humans are 
doing right or wrong, and forget to do right ourselves.  We should show 
our own virtue through acts of charity to those who so desperately need 
it.

Stereo-types
Apocalypt:  Why not try to do something constructive for a change?
Bachae:  Pleasure is important, but its hard to party when you are 
hungry.  If they really want to help humanity in general, they should 
concentrate on the comfortless poor.
Bhoddidsatva:  Nice idea, but it only works for a special few.  Its not 
enough to concentrate on these few when masses suffer.
Children of the Crucible:  They support a worthy cause, but would do so 
more effectively if they would only be a little more pragmatic.
Fury:  Devils.  All of them.
Justicar:  Their concern for justice is laudable, but they concentrate 
too much on individual cases, and miss mass injustices like poverty.
Lamenter:  No-one is more compassionate, but too often they concentrate 
on performing individual acts of kindness.  Such acts are no substitute 
for coordinated efforts to help people as a group.
Infernal Mammonite:  I know that they, and others, like to think of them 
as being Infernals, but they seem more strange than evil.
Muse:  A prime example of how lofty ideals can stand in the way of 
actually doing anyone any good.
Narcissite:  These are the ones who have given up the Godly for the 
worldly, not us!
Reaper:  Destroying privilege does not, per se, help the under-
privileged.
Tiamatic:  Let's be realistic.  You need a certain amount of money to be 
free.  A person without a penny can hardly "do anything they want".


INFERNAL MAMMONITE

  Wealth is the new God.  How better to insult the old than to raise 
Wealth in His place, and to distract his servants from the quest for 
goodness by filling their time with the pursuit of money?  Christ knew 
that the love of money is the root of all evil, so why are so many of 
our Infernal brothers unwilling to make proper use of it?

Stereo-types
Apocalypt:  They are only helping the opposition!  If you smash the 
physical possessions, spiritual values will bloom!
Bachae:  Dangerous.  They show humanity that one can become happier 
without becoming richer.
Bhoddidsatva:  I believe that they are mistaken that humans might choose 
nothingness over stuff.  I fervently hope that I am right.
Children of the Crucible:  They have some understanding, but even their 
Infernals are so inefficient compared to us!
Fury:  Frightening perhaps, but what kind of Celestial encourages no 
virtue and what kind of Infernal encourages no sin?
Justicar:  All they do is reward and punish humans.  But to receive a 
reward is not a virtue, and to receive a punishment is not a vice.  
Thus, they just make people happier and sadder rather than better or 
worse.  And thus, they are morally neutral.
Lamenter:  By rights, we should be pals.  I don't mind the alleviation 
of suffering, just as long as people are bad.
Celestial Mammonite:  They do our work for us.  I have no idea why they 
call themselves Celestial.
Muse:  Splendid!  They have found a trap to capture the few who seem 
immune to appeals of wealth!
Narcissite:  Wonderful!  They make rotten leaders and people follow 
them!  What more could we ask for?
Reaper:  Hatred of the rich is just a part of the love of money.  The 
Reapers are our unwitting allies!
Tiamatic:  The hysterical thing is that they fail to see that people are 
already free!  Humans slavishly follow rules just because they choose 
to!
