{{quote|''I am the good [[Arcadia|shepherd]]. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.''
|'''[[The Bible|John 10:11-18]]'''}}
The '''Good Shepherd''' is a good man concerned about his community and the people over all, even if this means being [[Reassigned to Antarctica]] by the uncaring or corrupt bishop, being terrorized by the local gang or becoming a martyr sooner than they ever expected...
Line 21 ⟶ 22:
In terms of rank, the [[Authority Tropes]] arguably equal are [[Badass Preacher]], [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]], [[Irish Priest]], [[Preacher Man]], [[Pedophile Priest]], [[Schoolteachers]], [[Sexy Priest]], [[Sinister Minister]] and [[The Vicar]]. For the next step down, see [[Student Council President]]. For the next step up, see [[Dean Bitterman]].

* Abel Nightroad from ''[[Trinity Blood]]''. A priest/special agent for the post-apocalyptic Vatican. Abel is very kind, and through a combination of comedic melodrama and sheer feather-brainedness tends to come off as a harmless ditz. [[Let's Get Dangerous|But when the wolves come...]]
* Father Juliano from ''[[Witch Hunter Robin]]'' comes off more as this despite the generally dark religious tone. He genuinely thought witches were dangerous but couldn't kill {{spoiler|Baby Robin, despite knowing what she was.}} Instead he raised her as his own and admitted that his fear of witches (the emotion driving the [[Big Bad]]) is a weakness of his own heart, and no fault of the witches. He blesses the protagonist and encourages her endeavors.

*** [[Heel Faith Turn|He is now.]]
* Father Francis John Patrick Mulcahy from ''[[
* The Rev. Geraldine Granger from ''[[The Vicar of Dibley]]''.
* Rev Bem from ''[[Andromeda]]'', who partly subverts the trope by being a bug-eyed monster from a [[Wretched Hive]], plays it straight by travelling with the [[Five-Man Band]], then is pressed into service of [[The Dark Side]]; and having passed the test, leaves on a journey of self discovery to see if his conversion was true or false.
