Practicing the Teachings of Aristotle. Most of its Parishes have Patron Saints. In Scotland and Ireland it is known simply as the (Universal) Roman Aristotelian Church (URAC), as in those countries there is no official state religion; in England, it is known as the Church of Rome, in contrast to the established Reformed Church . The URAC experienced controversy when a report emerged stating that the Church had been persecuting two groups known as the Priory of Muloch and the Knights of Solomon. Some speculate that the Church was after a secret the two groups had been guarding. Those two groups are forefathers for the Freesmiths, who supposedly now guard this secret.
