Despite ardentia having few privileges remaining from the days of Hierocracy, their social status has been slowly climbing back up over the past decades. The curates retain their right to excommunicate members of the Church without consulting with any political authority, and though they are forbidden from amassing wealth, some of it still finds its way into their hands.{{book ref|sa3|100}} In addition, ardents are increasingly often used as yet another political tool by the lighteyes.{{book ref|sa1|54}} Some people -- not only ardents, but even laymen -- seek the return of Hierocracy, chief among them the [[Sons of Honor]].{{book ref|sa2|i|12}}{{book ref|sa2|88}} Other groups, like the [[Envisagers]], desire to go even further back, to the age of Old Vorinism.{{book ref|sa2|71}}
 
With the coming of the [[Everstorm]] and the return of the [[Knights Radiant]], the future of Vorinism is unclear. Many of its tenets, chief among them that the [[Aharietiam]] was the final desolation, have been proven wrong, the Heralds are quite mad, and the leaders of the largest anti-Odium faction are a heretic and an atheist.{{book ref|sa3|122}} For now, the church strives to retain control through hamfisted means like-- most notably, the Curates' sudden excommunication of [[Dalinar Kholin]], althoughwho, thisat mightthe nottime, had began to loudly proclaim Almighty's death. This is unlikely to be sufficient, however, as there are some who believe that now is the time to break free from Vorinism.{{book ref|sa3|100}}{{book ref|sa3|107}}
