Catholic Church
Regional Intelligence via Clerical NetworksDescription
The Catholic Church operates an extensive clerical network that delivers superior intelligence on regional crises outside Bitanga compared to U.S. capabilities. Archbishop-led clerics gather data where U.S. embassy staff—limited to ten people—and CIA presence remain absent. President Bartlet taps this network during briefings on potential thousands of civilian deaths, marking the Church as a vital, non-governmental ally in humanitarian assessments.
