He then publicly confesses his sins on television, resigns, and says he's going to live out his days in contemplation at a monastery (we would presume that's for repentance so he doesn't endure Hell in the hereafter).

The police officer guarding the mayor who later shoots Veronica is another example, as he does this after ordering her to stop while flying, even though she didn't have a weapon or pose any visible threat.
