If the family takes Talor and Gerlant as Patron Saints, then they should have no trouble with being Orderlies of Gerlant. I don't see what the problem is.

But the character isn't an average Westerner. He's a hero and you'll expect him to be different.

It isn't socially unacceptable, it's unacceptable to the Church. Your hero is quite free to practice whatever common magic he desires so long as he doesn't do it in front of a churchman.

He has to purchase the formulary spells individually apart from the time when he first joins, whereupon he gets three spells for free at 13 (HQ p160 and 166). All spells are one-use and so charley the chaplain sidekick is desirable.
