Calm down bro.
1. The Chantry may control the Templars with lyrium but Meredith was the one giving orders. Remember?
Grand Cleric Elthina had the right to veto anything Meredith did, and even had the right to replace her. Everything the Templars did in Kirkwall was ultimately done via Elthina's authority as Grand Cleric of the Chantry. The only reason Meredith gets away with flouting Chantry law is because Elthina lets her (same with Mother Petrice).
2. Blowing up the Templar quater wouldn't do much harm, maybe a few mages would die but Anders way aware that starting a war with the Templars would also cause mages to die.
Anders wants to start a war. He explicitly states this, but he wants to pick the proper target and as a proper target for applied terrorism (and that's what it was), the Chantry was the perfect choice. Anders is willing to accept that some mages must die for the rest to be free starting with himself.
3. Merril was responsible for her clans death however you look at it. Her keeper's love for her led to her death and to the death of her clan. If she hadn't used blood magic, none of those events would ever have happened. Like Fenris says: Kwsihsdio sihusjuhns siha?
False, false, false. The one person responsible for Merrill's death is Keeper Merethari. Period. You can not be held accountable for the CHOICES of others. Merrill was willing and prepared to pay the price for her bloodmagic and the knowledge herself and even made the arrangements. Merrill went to great lengths to try to insulated her friends, lover, and clan from the consequences. Merrill didn't hold a gun to Merathari's head and force her to let Audicity in. Mereathari did that all on her own...and the fear she spread about Merrill was completely unjustified as well...and created the ugly scene in the end. Even then it wasn't Merrill that choose to attack the Champion of Kirkwall (if they did).
I DENY Negative Responsibility.
4. Smuggling is not that bad. Killing is worse and when you take the mercenary job, you know what it involves but it's still not as bad as being a blood mage.
Bloodmagic isn't evil. Really it's not. Its very dangerous magic using another source of power and that is IT. The Chantry for a variety of reasons wants you to think bloodmagic is evil but it's not. It's illegal and dangerous which does put it on the same level as lyrium smuggling.
5. Murder knife. Yes because she didn't do anything wrong. She just stood there but this was probably because she wanted no conflict to be caused on either sides. Anders? He stood there for years too and maybe Elthina would've acted eventually but Anders murdered her.
Elthina was the Divine's representative in Kirkwall and the ultimate religious authority. When it comes to chantry matters
including all Templar matters, Her Word Is Law. Thus she is directly responsible by her own inaction for allowing this to occure. She isn't responsible for Meredith being a fruit loop. She IS responsible for not doing anything about it....for almost a decade.
6. Call her what you want. The spirit healer spec says that mages with good spirits in them aren't killed, they are just watched more closely. She was still a circle mage who supported the circle like Bethany.
Wynne wasn't just a spirit healer. Your typical spirit healer is in close communication with helpful non-demonic (presumably) spirits that assist certain magics, but those spirits do [edit] NOT [/edit] take up residence! Anders was a Spirit healer BEFORE he merged with Justice.
Wynne was/is different. Wynne is possessed. That makes her an abomination.
