Re-watching Heretic and having some idea of the way it constructs the different ideas of religion made this scene stick out, because it actually makes a case for religious doctrines based on materialism, that secular and theocratic power are not separate. What's most interesting is that it's Sister Barnes who is making the argument, defending her spiritual belief with a Modern perspective even though the heretic challenging her is positioned as the "rational" one against her faith.
