Got me a question there. Was that a "request" from the religion head ... 
or an "Order"?

I know that my elder priest can send orders to all 3 religion message 
groups.. (yes.. that means he "can" order those above him in the elder 
ranks)

What should a noble do if his religion head gives an order that's 
counter to the lord/army?
