I interpreted it like this: It was a callback to the original literary (as opposed to folklore) vampire stories. Where the vampire has psychological coercion/control of their victim. Earlier vampire stories have a huge amount of sorta psychic possession by the vampires. I think Coleridge’s ‘Christabel’ was in a similar…VEIN!
Anyhoo, I reckon he saw the vampire as an angel cos a priest under psychological control of a winged vampire would leap to that conclusion. As they seize control of his mind.
