One of the things that always intrigued me about that scene was that he made the sign of the cross before starting off, as if to ask forgiveness in advance. At least part of the reason is that he never really displayed any religious tendencies before!

Honestly I never interpreted that as being particularly religious. Seemed more of a 'just in case' deal, more of a psychological exercise rather than a religious one. He's basically resigning himself to the course of action, kind of a 'better to ask forgiveness than permission' thing.

Or maybe I'm putting too much stock in a still image that just happened to catch them in a particular position during the scene v:shobon:v

With any other show I'd say this was the case, but The Wire pays insane attention to details like that so you may be onto something.
