Tele evangelist Marvin Gorman's downfall in 86,Jim Baker in 87, & Jimmy Swagart in 88, all fell due to their conceit & moral faliings. Re: Jimmy Swagart wiki. Dylan wrote this in 89.
Dylan's mention of sickness of the soul, delusions of grandeur, and the idea that you're to good to die comments was written after tele evangelist Jimmy Swagarts downfall.
He mentions a precher's transgressions with a prostitute again in The Man With The Black Coat in the same O Mercy album
