CCT - Clerical Character Traits

OK, we all know how piety and (un)orthodoxy work. But what about the other traits like purity and violence?

From what I know there are 5 different values:
Piety - the basic level of the priest to which all other values are added or subtracted from
Unorthodoxy - the priest's susceptibility to heresy
Purity - don't know, probably to do with heresy too
Violence - modifier when trying to denounce a heretic
Eligibility - modifier in papal elections

This is just about the direction I suppose things are. I couldn't find any more info on that topic, but I'd like to know how this works. So please feel free to share your observations...

Overall that's pretty much it in a nutshell except for Purity and Violence, which you didn't get quite right:

Purity/Violence affect the traits inquisitors spawn with under that pope's reign, with pure/peaceful popes lowering inquisitor piety and vice versa.

So these two are meaningless unless your priest becomes pope. But I noticed imams get the same traits - pretty weird.

imams count as priests too (heretics also count as priests actually from my experiments), but CA couldn't be bothered to give them a whole different line of traits that would not give those attributes. And to be fair, it doesn't really matter in this particular case.
