Does the 85mm f/1.8mm Produce that much shallower DOF than the 70-200 f/4 ?

Of course f/1.8 will have shallower DOF than f/4.  What was the question again?

Having f/1.8 will also help you in low light.  It's a nice lens to have, but you are locked into 85mm, and need to adjust where you stand to frame the shot.  That might not be possible inside a church.  Perhaps if you arrive early and plan out your shots it will work.
