During the Fenian Raid in 1866 there are reports of them having a chaplain on the field in full Roman Catholic clerical robes armed with a pistol. Where can find a figure for that? |

With a bit of converting, you might be able to use one of the "Armed Clergy" from the Perry Miniatures "Carlist" line. |

The soft plastic Pegasus California Mission Padres and Indians set includes a nice selection of Catholic religious. Scale is 1/48, so just a bit taller than 28mm figures, but the Fenians liked their leaders to be tall, so you're good on that count. You'll have to graft on a suitable hand holding a revolver: link |

I used a medeival monk figure with czapka headswap for a RPW medic figure. For your purposes, I think medeival figures would be the place to look for a figure in full vestiments, then a hand swap with any cowboy figure. |

Assuming you don't want to buy a pack of figures, Redoubt makes a Catholic priest in a cassock in their Spanish Naps line. The figure is holding a bible and a club. The Perry Carlist priests are very nice looking. If none of those work, look at medieval monks. |
