Touma having remote cancel powers invalidated so many other previous events, especially the Daihaisai part where Fukiyose got hurt.
I thought that his arm worked this time because it cancelled the "weight" that was on top of them all. Even then, however, it doesn't make too much sense for cancelling Orsola et al's weight since Touma himself wasn't affected when he walked into the room anyway.

I didn't like this arc too much. Too much talking, not enough nun action, not to mention that it's about the Roman Catholics trying to do something stupid again.
