For centuries, vampires and humans waged war. In hopes to finally end it, the Church forms a legion of Priests to purge the said menace. Said to be blessed by the Almighty himself, the Priests are combat trained and manages to wipe out the horde of vampires and those who remained, where locked up in different reservations across the land.

Then one night, a family was attacked outside the outskirts of the Cities, known as the Wastelands. The unfortunate family was that of the Priest (Paul Bettany), he later found out at that her niece was abducted by the vampires, so he vowed to avenge the death of his brother and plans to rescue Lucy. But the Church denied reinstating the authority of the Priest. Saying that if he refuses to follow these orders, it is like going against God. And so he went against it.

The Priest is joined by a local sheriff named Hicks, as they set forth in rescuing Lucy and find out what the vampires are up to by abducting Lucy. Aside from the vampires, they had to deal with another problem since the Church has ordered the reinstatement of the other priests to hunt them down.

Elements Bits number 1:

Righteousness. In the great words of the late US President Theodore Roosevelt, “If I must choose between peace and righteousness, I choose righteousness.”

Given the choice, would you do something that in the eyes of others is wrong, but in reality it is the right thing to do for the situation? Not all actions are deemed noble. (Especially in politics.) To prevent war, sometimes the course of action to take is to eliminate the threat before it even has a chance to execute it's plans. Does it promote peace? No. But is it right?

Memorable Quotes:

Priest: "Dear Father, forgive me. It was never my intention to offend you. I would like to firmly resolve with the help of your grace, to sin no more, and to avoid the near occasions of sin...but I can't."

Hicks: "I may have not seen the war, but I know the look a man gets when he likes killing. IT comes easy to you."
Priest: "It just comes. Easy's got nothing to do with it."

Orelas: "The sanctity of these walls is absolute. And the citizens of the cities have complete faith in the Church's ability to keep them safe. You will not shake that faith.
Priest: "What good is that faith when it's a lie?"
