In the section on the Covenant, the book explicitly states that there are numerous
Covenant-like groups around the world representing various religions - the Catholic
church was chosen as an example, because, IMO, it's the most 'bureaucratic' of the
major religions, and thus easy to visualise having extra organisations.

There's even rivalry between different factions of the Catholic Covenant, IIRC...
