There are zealous believers who are literaly insane. I'm going to talk about the correlation between religious anxiety and mental health but rather point out an interesling situation when such a zealot spouts or does such a thing that does not contradict the canon (in it's most retrograde aspects) but is too much even for the moderates. On the one hand, moderates understand that there's something wrong with this person and can't agree outright because that will make them look bad in the eyes of general public and on the other hand they feel or clearly understand that an outright disargeement is going to pose a threat to their beliefs and to the dogma. In such cases the moderates and the church officials try to weasel their way out of the situation in different ways but their actions tend to look more or less awkward.
