• The Church controlling nearly all holy magic and working to supress druidic magic goes directly against The Sanctum's goals of collecting magical knowledge. This has lead to many conflicts in the past; although, due to their influence and power, most conflicts have been dealt with via political moves and proxy wars

• The Sanctum most recently come into conflict with the church by repelling a celestial force, which is a policy the church opposes as they believe they are inherently benevolent

• They have been known to collaborate on occasion, although only under dire circumstances, such as to repel infernal or abyssal invaders
