On the CarnivaleHBO yahoo group, Dan Knauf is known to reply to posts at times.
Well, someone had asked the question:

"Am I right in thinking DK said at one point that he had first conceived Justin as a Catholic priest, and changed his mind because the character would have seemed to be too blatantly modeled on the historical Father Coughlin?"When

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!! I feel like I have been punched in the stomach, but in a good way. My god how gross is that? I want my show back *pouts*

What if...

I don't know if you got the chance to read this part of my CarnyCon ramble... but the other Season three opener spoilers that DK told us at the Con included that Justin is preaching with Sofie & Iris on either side of him, and a little boy (almost 4 years old) runs up to them, clearly one of their children (adopted or by blood, who knows?).

BUT my theory is this... the little boy is Sofie's. Probably Ben's. And Justin decided the Christain thing to do (plus, he pervishly wants it) is to marry young Sofie and adopt/claim the child as his own.

Now, if he knew that the child was Ben's.... well, then he has a powerful card to play in the future. Also, that being said, since Iris knows that Justin is Sofie's father (and has kept quiet about it) well, then, she too has a secret that would bring BJ to his knees if she dropped that lil' bomb on him.
"Alexi, Sofie is your... DAUGHTER!"
Ew, I just hope the child isn't really Justin's & Sofie's. The Usher & The Omega having an incest child, that would be a powerfully messed up kid.

That is a good piece of news. Yeah high on the ick factor, but damn would have made a great story arc. Gods we need this show back on the air. V
