Since the dark days of the Ecclesiarch Sebastian Thor's great reformation of the Imperial priesthood following the dark days of the Age of Apostasy in the 36th Millennium, the Adeptus Ministorum has been prevented by the dictates of the Decree Passive from maintaining forces that consist of "men at arms."

abstract	Since the dark days of the Ecclesiarch Sebastian Thor's great reformation of the Imperial priesthood following the dark days of the Age of Apostasy in the 36th Millennium, the Adeptus Ministorum has been prevented by the dictates of the Decree Passive from maintaining forces that consist of "men at arms." Although this statute put an end to the vast standing armies of the ancient Ecclesiarchy's Frateris Templar, the archaic wording of the decree has been subject to many abuses over the centuries, and only a fool would assume that the Ecclesiarchy lacks military power. In times of great need (such as wars of faith or during Imperial Crusades) the Ecclesiarchy arms its male servants, both from the clergy and the mass of lay followers. A great mass of clerks, Deacons, Pardoners and other minor functionaries swarm from the great temples and cathedrals, armed with whatever weapons they can lay their hands upon. To some, they are nothing but a disorganised rabble, a greater threat to themselves than to any opposing force, but on many occasions the Frateris Militia have been known to perform tremendous acts of courage and valour in the name of the Emperor. In battle the Frateris Militia are barely organised and operate in huge mobs consisting of any number of brethren. Members of the Frateris Militia are not professional soldiers, and receive no training to carry out their role. However, their faith is strong, and they often go on to perform great and terrible deeds in the name of the Master of Mankind. Mobs vary from ordinary Imperial citizens incensed against Heretics or xenos by Confessors, to those truly faithful individuals who pursue zealous self-sacrifice, to the already fanatical members of extreme Imperial religious sects. Such is the brethren's devotion and willingness to self-sacrifice that the more dangerous and desperate the fighting, the more likely they will fight to the death.
