Okay, so Sanguinary Priests already worry about the spiritual and mental health of their brother Astartes, so what purpose do Chaplains perform? Would it be possible for Chaplains to be phased out in favor of Sanguinary Priests, who would also take over responsibility of dealing with the Black Rage?

To quote a fictional character... "Let's make this fun!"

There was a story in the SM omnibus where a single kroot killed 2-3 marines then ate their gene seed and became a Kroot-startes.

We must all join the Kroot-startes...

Blood Angels need as much spiritual guidance as they can get thanks to the curse. Chaplains deal with the Black Rage, Sanguinary Priests deal with the Red Thirst.

Sanguiniary Priests are Blood Angels' Apothecaries. They deal with the physical health problems, the mental/emotional stuff is for the Chaplains.

Also there are Chapters that aren't Blood Angels.
