Paladin Alexander Anderson (Hellsing) is a Roman Catholic. He's also a self righteous and incredibly violent killer. I have sense enough to know Hellsing does not attempt to accurately portray Roman Catholicism.
Recently, some Christians took it upon themselves to condemn the Harry Potter series and went so far as to have book burnings. Meanwhile, other Christians were rather embarrassed and stupified by the whole fiasco.
Child molestation in the Catholic church is the joke of the week for comedians. I'm sure this upsets devout Catholics, but at the same time, any person with common sense knows the Catholic church doesn't teach child molestation as part of their religion. Nor can they do anything about those who find it amusing.
We'd all do well to remember that individuals (real or fictional) do not accurately represent a religion or culture.
