Line 11:
Often times, [[Good Is Impotent|the more proactive heroes were unable to have such an effect]] due to lesser purity, which left [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness|the local priest, nun or pure child]] to act as a [[Deus Ex Machina]] for when they get overwhelmed by the [[Legions of Hell|legions of darkness]]. Objects touched or blessed by objectively good characters could gain similar protective qualities, and religious sanctuaries were the mightiest of fortresses when evil was on your tail.
This injurious side of good is becoming rare as readers and viewers learn to take [[Grey and Gray Morality]] for granted, but expect very strong showings in religious literature. A [[Purity Sue]] (or any [[Mary Sue|Sue]] in general) may have this trait, but often without the [[Good Is Boring|
Note that [[Clap Your Hands If You Believe|differences of belief]] weren't ever an issue because it was taken for granted that the good thing or person really was good, and not just belonging to the majority faith, sometimes resulting in a [[Anvilicious|rather heavy handed]] [[An Aesop|Aesop]] for characters who ''were'' from the dominant church or [[Crystal Dragon Jesus|local equivalent]].
