In The Song of Roland Bishop Turpin fights. The poem is very inaccurate as a depiction of the battle which took place in 778, but probably represents attitudes at the time the poem reached its final form.

That’s true - there were many Catholic clergy who went into battle at various times (not to mention the Crusader military orders).
