Editing Cult of the Redemption (section)

===Diaspora===
Though originally confined to Necromunda, the cult was never a single unified set of doctrines. Because it originated in the poorly educated lower hives and is spread largely through word of mouth, each person could have his own interpretation of the Redemptionist Creed, or at the very least would follow the specific emphasis of their local leader of the faith, resulting in a large splintering into innumerable variants. These variants are just as likely to bicker with one another and declare each other to be heretics, but all are content to come together to obliterate a more obvious target, such as the alien, mutant or non-believer. The Redemption Cult soon spread across the [[Imperium of Man]] thanks to sympathetic members of the [[Ecclesiarchy]] and even returned to Necromunda in a different form: the '''Red Redemption''', which if anything is a louder, more violent interpretation of the Redemptionist ethos.

[[Commissar]] [[Ciaphas Cain]], '''HERO OF THE IMPERIUM''', noted in the novel ''The Traitor's Hand'' that there was a Redemptionist preacher on Adumbria, and believed his old [[Schola Progenium]] classmate Tomas Beije was either a member of the Cult, or at the very least a sympathizer.

The Ecclesiarchy has occasionally tried to use Redemptionist Zealots as a means to get around the [[Decree Passive]] preventing them from having "men under arms" and limiting their military forces to the [[Sisters of Battle]]. (<s>Emperor's balls, now even the Ecclesiarchy doesn't want the Nuns with Guns.</s> {{blam|FWOOSH! Silence, heretic! The Ecclesiarchy wants more warriors ''beside'' the noble women of the Adepta Sororitas to purge the unclean in holy flame!}}) In the novel ''Legion of the Damned'', a group of Ecclesiarchs end up getting into a pissing match with the [[Excoriators]] over authority long enough for the Marines to get bored and BLAM several Redemptionist militants.
