You are arguing a cleric cannot acquire and use a divine focus under the VoP limitations without breaking the VoP in all games under RAW except by using a house rule which is what I disagree with.

This is the same VoP that lets the PC carry around simple weapons (Some are expensive simple weapons like heavy crossbows at 50 gp).

The VoP RAW does not prohibit the use of "simple weapon holy symbols" (The minimal 1 GP market value added to a quarterstaff or a light mace to retain spellcasting wouldn't break the Vow since it only stipulates no masterwork or magical weapons).
