I've read some novels that would support that concept.

I'm not sure if they were supposed to be parodies of the "Mack Bolan: The Executioner" style books but they had Nazis Nuns working for a secret covert division of the Vatican.

A few others focused on Church sponsored wizards (Magisters) who weren't always that good.

Is their catch tiger blood?

Gah, I don't even care about celebrity stuff and yet knowledge of Sheen's insanity has still entered my life, unbeckoned.

Not caring about celebrity stuff doesn't mean you can't enjoy an epic meltdown.

Their catch is WINNING.

Also, remember that Charlie's deadly and dangerous secret and silent soldiers are all around you.

That would be a terrible catch. You would be completely useless half the time, and completely useless the other half.  ;D

No, they're vulnerable to WINNING.

As far as I can tell WINNING means doing suitcases full of blow and banging porn stars two at a time.  To the best of my knowledge the only person who could satisfy their catch is Charlie Sheen.

We're actually doing something along this line in my game set in Austin, Texas. One of the neighboring towns (Round Rock specifically) is the corporate headquarters to Dell. One of the things the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation has set up is a huge Jewish Community Center in another neighboring town. During City Creation, one of my players said that Michael Dell created that Community Center as a way to help train Jewish Magi to protect him from the dark powers he dealt with in order to make his business really successful.  It hasn't come up in story yet, but I've got some surprises surrounding that which will ensure that anybody working for him will have Hell to pay.

Alas, I think the most appropriate Catch for Charlie Sheen has, historically, been Charlie Sheen.

That echoes on like it’s carpet-bombing feverish white jungles of thought

Ignore the Sheen part and focus on the Vatican Warlock Assassins part as that is the cool concept.

It's true, the only thing that can hurt Charlie Sheen is Charlie Sheen.

If you're going for Jewish mages Kabbalah is a really neat....Belief structure? Religion? Something like that. Take a look at it.
