Please note, Astro City is rated T. Major Spoilers Ahead! The Confessor's last act is one of self sacrifice to save the world. Thanks to what he did an alien takeover is revealed and the other heroes are able to put a stop to it. Caught in the fray is the Confessor's mentee, Altar Boy. Thankfully another Christian-based hero group, the Crossbreed, come and save him. After they take him to safety, their leader Noah tells Altar Boy he regrets they couldn't have gotten there sooner to save the Confessor too. Altar Boy asks if their late arrival had anything due to who the Confessor was. Before he can finish the thought, Noah reveals that they knew the Confessor was a vampire. That fact was not important to them though. As Noah says: Regardless of what he was, he was doing God's work- he was saving innocents and serving Truth. And in the Final Judgement, what is more important? The burdens we bear- or the way we bear them? None of us are perfect. We see that in all the Saints, and with the Apostles who followed before them. Peter denied our Lord on the night Jesus faced death. Paul started out as a persecutor of the church. Neither were perfect, yet they dedicated their lives to spreading the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ. We all have burdens to bear. We all have things we suffer through. We all have sins that are difficult for us to move past. Yet Noah's words are what we see throughout Scripture. It doesn't matter what we have done or what we face. What matters is that we listen to what God is asking of us and spread the Gospel in our service to the Truth. All that matters is that we keep moving forward in doing God's work as best we can in this world.
