Yes, Fr. Martin was a fighter of evil, in all its forms.
When I think of his death, I seem to think of him and all the other dead scientists that we know about.
It (to me) fits in with the taking out of the Churches and all of our rights.
He exposed a lot of evil in this world, so of course he had to die.
I couldn't even guess at who killed him. It might have been someone who was to be in the next book he wrote.
