I am reminded of a scene in the movie "The Patriot" with Mel Gibson. Gibson's eldest son in the movie is sent to recuit militia to hold back the British troops. After a moving speech in a local parish church, the vicar is asked by a surprised congregation member why the vicar is joining the men for the militia. His answer is something to the effect. 'No only do we have to protect the sheep, but sometimes we have to fight off the wolves.' I prayers go to this woman and her loss. I would be hard put to find fault.
He mustn't have had a lot of faith to begin with.
