W, I disagree with her. I find nothing in the movie to indicate that Vito's disappointment at learning about Michael was due to anything except his loss of Michael as a legitimate-world asset.

However, in the novel Vito states at the Dons meeting that none of them wants to see their children follow them into this life. Regardless, Vito wasn't thinking about Michael's soul.
