(Note: This is all just my speculation and a theory born out of the conspiracy theorist inside me)
1) She is actually a mage
This is a little crazy I know but hear me out. In the codex entry for Divine Justinia V it says
"Within the Grand Cathedral, rivals suggest that her reticence in discussing her past means she's hiding something"
This shows that it is possible she is hiding something. What would be more of a secret than the Divine of the Chantry being a mage. Like a line we hear very often in Dragon Age says
"Magic exists to serve man, and never to rule over him."
That right there proves that if she is a mage she needs to keep it secret, that she is hiding something. And if she is a mage, what would she like better than freedom from the circle?
2) She murdered her way to become the Divine
So before she became Divine Justinia V she was known as Revered Mother Dorothea, serving in Ferelden. The Divine at this time was Divine Beatrix III. Divine Beatrix III died in 9:34 Dragon, the same year as the Qunari attack on Kirkwall. The cause of death was called a stroke and before she died put Dorothea's name forward to become the next Divine. Sure a stroke is a possible cause of death for Beatrix but as a mage Dorothea could have actually killed her and made it look like a stroke (we've seen weirder things happen) and forced Beatrix to put her name forward to be her successsor.
That is a stretch, I know. But Dorothea was not a very important member of the Chantry when she became apointed. She was only a Revered Mother from a small village. The Grand Clerics were even skeptical when they were discussing Dorthea's suitability for the job. Nevertheless, she received the promotion and became Divine Justinia V.
3. Leliana: Divine Justinia's left hand
We know from the Leliana's Song dlc that Dorthea saved her life. She has a history with the Divine and trusts her. This point will explain why the DIvine sends her on the quest she does.
Leliana appears during the DA2 quest "Faith". Leliana is there to acess the situation in Kirkwall and get Elthina out of Kirkwall. It is true that Justinia wanted Leliana to assess the situation but not in the way we think. Justinia was watching Kirkwall carefully but she didn't want to prevent the war but wanted to see how the events of her plan were progressing. She also did not want to rescue Elthina. She knew Elthina would stay in Kirkwall. And that is exactly what she needed for her plan to work.
4. Cassandra: Divine Justinia's Right Hand
During the events of Dawn of the Seeker Cassandra saves the Divine's life and becomes Hero of Orlais as well as Divine Justinia's right hand. This point will explain the real reason Cassandra is sent to find Hawke.
Throughout Dragon Age 2 we are watching Varric being interrogated by Cassandra, who wants to find Hawke. Cassandra believes that she is needed to find Hawke who in her mind is the one who can stop the war. The case is that the Divine is actually sending Cassandra on a wild goose chase so that she will be out of the way for the time being. You can argue that 'well why does she care about Hawke interfering if he/she are missing?' That's the point, Hawke isn't missing. The Divine could have captured Hawke and possibly the Warden, who are 2 of the only people she believes can stop her.
5. Anders
I can't forget about Anders. The man who started the choas by blowing up the Kirkwall Chantry. The thing is that wasn't his plan and wasn't even Justice's plan. It was Justinia's plan. Anders wanted mages to be free from the Chantry and that is the Divine's plan (and then some). The Divine convinced Anders to do what he did. How else could Anders come up with a spell that can do what it did. As the Divine she can get access to all the top magic research books and materials she desires. She could have gave this info to Anders somehow. The Divine knew that even as tense as the situation was between Meredith and Orsino that as long as Elthina lived a temporary comprimise would be reached, referring to Anders line in the final battle
"I removed the chance of comprimise, because there is no comprimise."
With the Chantry destroyed it caused the inevitable, Kirkwall's mages and templars at war. The first domino in Justinia's plan has fallen and threw the choas her real plan can begin.
Summary
In my theory Divine Justina V is really a mage who is the mastermind behind the craziness Thedas is in at the current time. She manipulated Leliana and Cassandra to gain their trust and send them on missions that they do not know what her real reasons are for doing so. She also is the one who gave Anders the stuff he needed (other than the actual ingrediants) that Anders needed to blow up the Chantry in Act 3.
Her full plan is not yet fully known other than freeing the mages from the Chantry and the Templars.
Last Note: I know this theory has holes as do all theories butit is a work in progress.
