There's an unmarked church right about where I'm standing on the map called Union's Hope Cathedral. Inside of the cathedral is a unique non-feral hostile ghoul named Father Gabe.

Until he sees or hears you, he will be leaning over a plate at the back of the church. When he does notice you, he will begin to attack you while simultaneously shouting for help, alerting a number of feral ghouls that ignore him and only attack you. He is one of four ghouls in Fallout 4 with hair, there's no notes that mention him, and there's no context available for who he is or what he's doing here.

All he has is his vestments, a double barrel shotgun, and a burnt book.

woah, thanks for sharing. my first instinct is to consider that this could be a lunar order church like the one in CoUQ who laundered qualtoth worship through christianity, the same way the order hijacked the mothman cult and spawned the children of atom as more approachable cover religions.

alternatively, a less insane person might assume this is a church where ghouls gathered after the war and continued their faith even as they went feral, presumably positioning ghoulification as a holy awakening, a natural conclusion which ultimately conflates qualtoth and the christian god
