I'd like to provide some context before the seemingly obvious answer comes along.
I've started the preliminary writing for a potential written series for the NT (partially since I found out comics are better suited to the newspaper-daily format rather than comic book/graphic novel style) in which a protagonist, through some combination of circumstances, runs off alone, blacks out from the rigors of travel, wakes up in a distinctly cathedral-sanctuary-like building which doubles as an orphanage for the immediate area, stays there for a long period of time, and makes a bit of a joke/reference to the fact that the title of the priest taking care of them is "Father".
The reasoning is that this is a medieval sort of town akin to Meridell and Brightvale (but smaller), so it would fit the period better than the Pound, which is both at the other end of the continent and has plenty of negative connotations.
So I was wondering how far it would be safe to go in terms of calling it a church/cathedral/sanctuary, describing it in moderate detail (pews, Brightvalian stained glass, etc.), and making the aforementioned pun. "Religious" topics seem to fall under the generally taboo, but the NT rule tips I've read don't seem to make any mention of it, and it seems like it would be okay if a specific religion or holy book is not mentioned (even if it draws some logical parallels to the stereotypical medieval expression of Roman Catholicism). Any thoughts?
