Yeah, it was only a title for the Dragonblooded after the Usurpation, when the DBs stole it.

Funny thing about Infernal Exalted by the way, back in the days of Creation they were all considered high-ranking priests of the Yozi by default.
They got a bonus on any prayer-rolls towards them and were often acknowledged when praying to one of them with some sign and they got a basic Cult-rating of one Dot just for being the chosen of the Yozi and thus automatically getting a tiny bit of the faith and prayer each of those recieves from their worshippers.
As far as I can tell ExWoD completly did away with that, since the Yozi aren't around even as memories anymore.
But the idea that a much greater being cares about her personally is propably very comfortable to some old part of Molly's memory.
Thus it makes on that level a lot of sense for her to expect the sermon to be personally relevant, or that Uriel would talk about her with her father.
That's just how things were back in the day, when you were your deity's highest Chosen.

I mean... it is completely consistent for Big-G God to slip shit into sermons. Or pull a Bruce Almighty and throw messages at you with road signs. Human beings are dense motherfuckers.
"Give your mother a hug. She's being a bitch due to a shitton of unresolved traumas and it doesn't mean she is right but, really, she really needs that hug right now."

Vote closed. I was not expecting this one to be a big vote
1)A little heavy handed with the sermon there, White God, dont you think?
Then again, it IS Molly; bless her soul, but she is a little thick
2)Namaste is how you are supposed to greet divinities according to Google.
We just had a monk who's never met Molly before peg her for either an Exalt or a Princess of Hell at first sight.
This has all sorts of implications about our ability to hide what we are from casual inspection by supernaturals ie not happening. Not unless we pick up a charm for it.
It also suggests that the East retains records of what an Infernal is, records that dont seem extant here if the Summer Lady's lack of recognition is correct. This is in line with Mouse, who originates from an Eastern monastery, also recognizing Molly on soght.
Which means that Molls needs contacts in the East.
Counterpoint: We just discovered that an eastern monk can zero in on us while we're wearing our Sunday Best and not doing a thing out of the ordinary. Thats worth whatever momentary discomfort wearing a summer dress entails.
Besides, Molly was unhappy due to some of the people she ran into at church.
The rest is identity crisis stuff.
Nothing to do with her clothes per se.
And thirdly, you cant really claim to be a Prince of Earth until you have a suitably chuuni appellation.
Something like Screaming Phoenix Killer, Bones of Creation or Seven Blasphemous Deaths

Im going to disagree with the consensus vote.
If Michael trusts these people enough to come at their request, then its probably safe to admit ignorance of what they are implying rather than attempting to bluff things through. Which means that we can try to tap them as a resource for occult knowledge.

Mage sight is pretty good, and will likely peg us immediately. Most other supernatural have also been able to tell weve got something going on on sight.

It's also just a common greeting.
Might be that the monk recognised us as nascent divinity, might be that he was just polite.

Him losing his smile and the low bow combined with it... eh. I'll take Usum at his word here.
Though if it is this could get very funny very quickly
Not in the Dresdenverse.
Lots of supernaturals pass undetected until and unless they go loud, or the other person activates their Sight.
That Molly is standing out like this makes her the equivalent of a magical bonfire.
I am just going to tell you guys this straight up because you have the occult rating and you did try to use magic only to see it be eaten: Molly is a screening vortex of profane power tearing at the fabric of the world. What your Exaltation thinks of as emergency power mode the rest of the world thinks of as about 5% of a Darkhallow going constantly, only you know it is ancient power of primordials and not something a mortal necromancer banged out in a few centuries so it's not as disruptive as 5% of a Darkhallow would be walking around normally. They do not have to look directly as you, they can look at the world
This is kind of true but also meaningless as far as I can find.
Its a general greeting, even used amongst people today.
Spirits/gods are also just...greeted.
If he was just being polite, he'd have greeted us the same way he was about to greet Michael, the Hammer of God.
Dude didnt switch out of English to address Molly in Hindi by accident.
I can't wait until we turn on Shintai the first time or create our Kingdom.
What sort of signal would that give off...
Shintai can't come soon enough.

Ahahahahaha. Ha.
Oh dear. People can probably track Molly from the other side of the planet. And I wont be surprised if every supernatural in Chicago can tell whenever Molly learns a new charm just by the rippless on the local magic environment.
We certainly dodged a bullet by not going to McAnally's unescorted; we'd have emptied that place out like someone pulled a fire alarm.

Molly learned the Tool Charm and alarms probably started screaming at the White Council's Edinburg HQ, warning of something like a major demonic incursion.
Then she uses the Charm to repair her shirt.
Not quite the disaster they expected...
Interesting implication:
How does this affect people trying to use magic and magical abilities against her, or even in her general vicinity? How does it affect magical items that have limited charge? Because this is very much in the vicinity where you try to form your magic and she just eats it.
Hell, how does this affect ghosts and spirits? Do they just flee her general vicinity?
Does Bob look at her and see a magical tornado of death? Because I was looking into how to counterspell hostile magic, and buying counterspells from Sorcerer Revised will cost. But if she can weaponize this passive effect....
