Daredevil has taken on numerous looks and endeavors over the years, but at his core he has always been a hero. More importantly to Daredevil himself, Matt Murdock has always been a Catholic. While this hasn’t always played an especially prominent role in the character’s comic book career, it is now a bigger aspect of who Daredevil is than ever before, especially now that he has traded in his three-piece suits for a white collar.Rather than being caught in the middle of any rooftop action or nighttime heroics, Daredevil #1 (by Saladin Ahmed, Aaron Kuder, Jesus Aburtov, and VC’s Clayton Cowles) opens to its titular hero dealing with the potential loss of St. Nick’s. Apart from being the church where Matt Murdock now resides, this is the literal mission where he has taken up duties as a priest. As it turns out, returning from his time in the literal depths of Hell robbed Daredevil of all but fragments of his memories of his past. Though these memories come rushing back to him soon enough, they still don’t change how he feels about the new life he is leading, and for plenty of good reasons.It shouldn’t be surprising that Matt decides to continue working with the church rather than return to his old life even after regaining his memories. Considering how important the church and his faith have been to Matt’s story since it was made canon in 1993’s Daredevil: The Man Without Fear, it only makes sense that he would find the kind of solace there now that he did when he lost his sight and developed his powers. Whereas a young, orphaned Matt found an outlet for his anger in training with Stick, he also found peace and compassion within the church. It was also in the church where it was first suggested to Matt that his powers might be a literal blessing instead of a figurative curse.RELATED: Marvel Reveals New Details About Its 1990s Throwback Series, Daredevil: Black ArmorRELATED: Why Daredevil is a More Tragic Hero Than Spider-Man
