I would say... possibly. I think he might have tried to persuade me to join his cause, but equally, I think he's the sort of man who's quite happy being a lone vigilante type. He likes seeing himself above the rest of us, I'm not entirely sure, as some sort of ultimate judgement from God that nobody else can have. So this... would make him more likely to act alone, in my mind, so I don't think he's actively looking for someone to help.
I've never, personally, been one for religious politics. I personally believe that if everyone can love each other like they love God, and don't believe they're part of some elite club, then things might be a damn sight better. That being said, there's some element of cultural difference; for example, I was brought up with a specific kind of work ethic, a specific kind of self-restraint, the idea of living my life in Christ. My fiancee, who was a different, stricter kind of Protestant, was brought up without drinking alcohol, with a very, very strict Sabbath, with the concept of bearing witness. And then Catholics, I imagine, are brought up with the concepts of Confession and forgiveness through that, and... I don't know, aside from the obvious differences, it's a cultural thing, it's how you're brought up, and where you're brought up and why.
And that's a very hard thing to have to compromise, when those elements of your culture are things which you believe are God's truth.
