Men of the cloth, whether wrongly or rightly, have often suffered abuse. Martin Luther’s stand against the selling of indulgencies provokes the wrath of the religious hierarchy who threatens him with excommunication in Luther. Religious fervor also comes into play when Sir Thomas Moore refuses to bend his beliefs in A Man for All Seasons. A positive depiction of a pastor who reaches out to his flock can be seen in Raising Helen. A burn victim also struggles with internal scars from accusations made against him while he was employed as a teacher in The Man Without a Face.
