I'm new to the Re:zero fandom so anything I say should be taken with a grain of salt.

The witch factor seems to come from Satella who is currently sealed away. thanks to the efforts of the sage the sword saint and the dragon. She killed all of the other witches and seems to have all of their authorities and the cult definitely seems to think her "love" is what gives the archbishops their power. but from Petelgeuse's interaction with her, she doesn't care at all about the cult and their efforts to give her Amelia's body via the ordeal. But that's just my thought process.

Remember anything I say should be taken with a grain of salt.
