Introductions?

[hymnal]

Well, then, I suppose I shall.

My name is Malachy O'Rourke. Father Malachy O'Rourke, if you so desire, and not, if you don't.

I'm the youngest priest at Saint Benedict's Church in Little Blackburn, which is in Westbridge, which is in some country I am not fully aware of.

And ... I am a failure at speaking of myself.

Hello there. You're a priest? Maybe I should tell the resident Catholics, though I'm willing to bet their confessions would burn your ears.

Do priests ever watch musical theatre?

*smiles warmly, very glad he's not Catholic*

Confessions ... get worse and worse, never better, and I manage. My ears, I believe, are flameproof.

And actually, I am quite fond of the theatre.

Hello! It's so nice to meet you! You're a priest? What do priests do? I don't think we have them where I come from.

Yes, we do, Remy, I just never took you to church.

If you're the kind of priest who likes innocent blond boys, I will warn you once to stay away from Remy, as you value your life.

Don't worry about it. I'm honest. By 'celibacy' I actually do MEAN IT. Perfectly asexual if not leaning toward straight ...

Is there a fear of the church in the family?

[pretty_tristan]

There's a dislike of priests.
