That sound about right?

I can understand a guy sheilding himself in a church to keep from getting captured or killed. I'm having more of a problem with a group holing up until it's time to attack again.
I guess that goes to the heart of what sanctuary is. I don't think the Catholics grant it to anyone who shows up for any reason. I think there are a specific set of circumstances that apply.
