Church Militant/Playing With

Basic Trope: Clergy also kick bad guy ass.
 * Straight: Father Robert, a priest of Our Lady of Badass, can hold his own against an attacker, and has been trained to do so by his order.
 * Exaggerated:
 * Father Robert uses a submachine gun that's in the shape of a cross, standard issue for clergy.
 * He recites scriptures and damnation upon his enemies whilst kicking their asses.
 * Justified:
 * Our Lady of Badass was founded by a former Badass Preacher who defected from a more peaceable church, and created an organization of fighting clergy to protect the masses from a rising ancient evil. Robert is the latest of The Chosen Many.
 * The Church doubles as a military force (especially when it comes to fighting the Legions of Hell).
 * Inverted: Robert is a warrior for The Enlightenment, a brotherhood of militant atheists who seek out and destroy all traces of religion.
 * Subverted: Father Robert is an elderly priest who preaches peace.
 * Double Subverted: But when the Legions of Hell knock at his door, he also turns-out to be a Badass Grandpa.
 * Parodied: Pope Robert is a tiny, wizened old man, but he's packing a robe full o' guns and is flanked by specially trained Ninja Cardinals.
 * Deconstructed: Robert gets kicked out of the church when his fellows deem his methods too violent.
 * Reconstructed:: Robert comes up against a review panel of bishops, furious at what he's done, but he defends his actions with scripture on the subject of acceptable violence, and talks several of them round to his side. They have no choice but to throw him out of the church, but they suggest he continue his work as a Cowboy Preacher.
 * Averted: Father Robert doesn't fight bad guys.
 * Enforced: "We don't want Robert to be an albatross around the neck of our Five Man Band. Let's have him kick ass!"
 * Lampshaded: "Sort of odd beating up mooks with you being a priest, huh, Father Bob?"
 * Defied: Father Robert refuses to fight, instead serving as a healer exclusively, which baffles his fellow priests.
 * Invoked: The heroes hire Robert in hopes of him being a fighter, since Our Lady Of Badass is Famed in Story.
 * Exploited: The Villain With Good Publicity uses Father Robert's Badass ways as a example of how brutish and terrible the Church is.
 * Discussed: "Watch out for the priest! He'll undoubtedly be trained in some sort of martial art!"
 * Conversed: "Father Robert sure fights a lot on this show, being a priest and all."
