The '''Plague of Unbelief''' is considered part of the Age of Apostasy, although occurring several decades after Sebastian Thor's ascension to the position of Ecclesiarch. The main perpetrator of the Plague of Unbelief was [[Cardinal Bucharis]].

*{{Main|Age of the Dark Imperium}}
The return of the [[Primarch]] [[Roboute Guilliman]] and his subsequent seizure of power in the Imperium proved a difficult issue for the Ecclesiarchy. The Ministorum frequently venerated [[Imperial Regent|Regent]] Guilliman as a god, a role he spurned. At the same time, Guilliman often displayed the belief that the Emperor was not divine, seemingly contradicting the entire Imperial Cult. However Guilliman recognized the need of the Ecclesiarchy to maintain the Imperium's authority and unity on its million worlds, and as a result created the rank of [[Militant-Apostolic]] to both better coordinate with the church and allay their fears that Guilliman may attempt to undermine their power.{{Fn|6}}
