We are having a little bit of trouble following the plot; our predecessor was so much better than this Inquisitor at this job, alas.

In general we appreciate a good chaste, heterosexual love story and a murder mystery. Also monasteries. Vengeance is, of course, the Lord's so it's not appropriate for humans to take it upon themselves. However, it is true to life that they do in fact do so, it's just important that this is not morally promoted. The ghost and zombie bits are not true to life, but we find them appropriate as fantasy. It is up to the author of this sort of thing how much they want to explain about the afterlife and what the resurrected person experienced, so long as it is not something clearly false.

being a good person wasn't just about obeying those in authority over you but following the wisdom inside your heart,

Following authority is a good thing actually?

In the second book, the hero is working through his relationship problems caused by the fact that he had put the heroine on a pedestal for a thousand years, and now she actually exists and is an actual person with actual traits

Ah, what an excellent type of story. More stories need to include the natural after-marriage adjustment from idealization to true spousal affection. It is true that there's often some frustration involved.

Meanwhile, the hero's brother has met the heroine's best friend, and they're falling in love.

What happened to the hero's wife? Is she dead? This sounds potentially adulterous. We understand that his wife is a terrible person, but that doesn't make adultery okay.

And The Very Stupidest And Most Useless Man In The World invents democracy as an elaborate attempt to get out of having to rule anything. 

What an excellent explanation for how a morally bankrupt system of government like that ever came to be.

Oh, the author didn't explain any of that because the logos didn't tell us about the afterlife because it's bad for humans to think about the afterlife.

Following authority is a good thing actually?

Following authority is a neutral thing! It is bad to follow authority instead of the inner wisdom which the logos put into each person's heart. Sometimes your inner wisdom will tell you to trust competent authorities and that is a very good thing during e.g. pandemics.

Oh, sorry, that might have gotten taken out in the edits for Christendom sensibilities. A new version is put out in which it is made more explicit that the wife killed herself out of shame. 

What an excellent explanation for how a morally bankrupt system of government like that ever came to be.

Oh! The logos wants us to be democratic, actually. Maybe things work differently in Christendom. This is supposed to be a plotline about how even very stupid and useless people can wind up doing good things for terrible motives. 

I'm trying to understand why my predecessor thought your universe was so similar to ours and we would get along so well.

In Christendom, we *do* know what happens in the afterlife, and we think about it a lot. But of course it does no harm for it not to be included. Our readers will well understand what happens to the wife after she dies.

God writes straight with crooked lines, I'm sure that's something we can all agree on! Take most of the kings we've ever had. If God weren't directing their behavior toward the good, who knows how much worse things would be run!
