Rule of the Sororitas: Order of the Sanctified Shield
Section CXVI: Litania
Subsection VI: Contra Haeresim
Sub-Subsection III: Contemptus
"Contempt is the unyielding armor that guards the soul from the insidious touch of corruption. It is not mere disdain but a righteous shield forged in the Emperor's holy fire. By embracing contempt for the heretic, the mutant, the witch, and all who defy His divine will, a Sister fortifies her spirit against doubt and temptation. Let your contempt be as unwavering as your faith, and no enemy, no seduction of the warp, no whisper of heresy shall ever penetrate your resolve. In contempt, we find purity; in purity, we find strength; in strength, we embody the Emperor's will."
— Canoness Jessamine Hallas, Founder of the Order of the Sanctified Shield
