Personally I wonder if the Japanese version of that sentence refers to one "chosen" (the Zent) or potentially multiple (any Zent candidate) …
I don't have the source available to check on this, but up until Erwaermen started being largely ignored, The gods directly chose who got to succeed in the event of a tie. After that, the winner would largely be decided by who was left alive at the end of the war, I imagine. A Zent in control of the country foundation can rip any duchy foundation out from under the feet of the Aub in control of it, so they would be powerless to resist once the country foundation was successfully dyed. In either case, I doubt this would be particularly confusing.

Even Rozemyne who has a proper Book of Mestionora suggested disguising the temple access with bookshelves and a decoy statue in P5V12, which could be taken to mean it's not possible to customize the temple access like that, even as a Zent candidate.
As an alternative explanation, it's possible the path located in the Archduke's mansion was only made extra secure after the Zent succession became more violent—and therefore after candidates who sincerely prayed were already largely disdained—so by the time these changes were commonplace, the temple path had already been relatively forgotten.
