Priest Page #4

and its regulations.

The secrecy of confession--

How can that be good...

when it allows evil

to thrive ?

You'd speak out !

You'd speak out.

I know you'd speak out.

-

Our Father who art in heaven,

hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread

and forgive us our trespasses...

- as we forgive those

who trespass against us.

- Hiya.

- And lead us not into temptation

but deliver us from evil. Amen.

- Mmm.

But you could speak out.

You were the Son of God, for God's sake.

You could make the rules.

You were the Son of God. I'm not !

I'm just a priest. I'm a,

I'm a, tuppence, ha'penny priest...

- and I can't take on

That would be pride.

That would be arrogance.

They'd, they'd crucify me.

Our Father

who art in heaven,

hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread

and forgive us our trespasses...

as we forgive those

who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation

but deliver us from evil. Amen.

I look around for an example.

I'm in the depths of despair.

I look around for an example,

and all there is is you.

But you perform miracles.

You change water into wine.

You raise the dead.

You, you cured the sick.

What kind of example is that ?

How could you possibly know despair ?

"Oh, well, I'm feeling a bit low

today. I think I'll, I'll

raise somebody from the dead."

How could you, with that kind of power,

know what I'm going through right now ?

Lisa !

No, no.

- No, no, no.

- What are you doin' ?

What're you doin', Phil ?

What're you doin' ?

What're you doin' ?

What're you doin' ? What're you doin' ?

- You animal, you animal,

you animal, you animal !

Get down them stairs now !

Get down ! Get down them stairs now !

-Maggie !

- You animal ! You animal !

Listen to me, Maggie !

- It's Phil ! Listen !

- Oh, God ! Oh, God !

- Maggie ! It's me !

- Oh, God ! You're an animal !

You're an animal !

Our Father who art in heaven,

- Maggie !

- hallowed be Thy name.

- Listen to me !

- Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done on earth...

- Calm down !

- as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread

and forgive us our trespasses...

as we forgive those

who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation

but deliver us from evil. Amen.

- Get out !

- Yeah, right !

Get out !

Get out of our house !

Get out, get out, get out, get out.

Lisa, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

I'm sorry, sorry.

Careful.

And this is the eighth:

- "Jesus Meets the Sorrowing Women."

You can see

the women crying because...

Jesus is in such

a pitiful state.

Jesus doesn't want their tears.

He's saying to them,

"Weep not for me,

but for thy children."

The prayer

we usually say here goes,

- "My Jesus, laden with sorrows,

I weep for the offenses

I have committed."

You knew.

You knew.

What kinda man are ya ?

The ninth is, uh...

"Our Lord Falls

for the Third Time."

I hope you burn in hell.

- That's a good one.

Hi.

Well, what did you expect ?

You treated me like a bloody leper !

And for God's sake,

grow up, Greg !

I love you.

- Sh*t !

- Oh, God !

Dates of birth ?

Twentieth of September,

Occupation ?

What's your job ?

Priest.

Catholic ?

Yeah.

You little devil !

Guilty.

- How long have you been a priest ?

How long have you been a priest ?

It's in your interest

to talk to me;

put your side

of the story.

Greg ?

Sh*t !

Greg. Greg ?

- Aaah !

- What've you done !

- God ! Don't touch me !

- It's all right.

- Hang on.

Oh, God ! Oh, God !

- Oh !

- It had slipped out.

Jesus. Jesus.

Oh.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

Why didn't you tell me ?

I tried. I couldn't.

What're you gonna do ?

We'll say Mass together.

We'll quote John, Chapter Eight:

"Let him who is without sin

cast the first stone."

- I can't do that.

- Oh, you've gotta do it.

No, you see, I can't.

I've just taken 24 paracetamol.

- All done.

- Yes ?

- Good news. He'll live.

- That's good news ?

Compassion, ladies and gentlemen.

You sin, you go to a priest,

you expect compassion.

If you expect it from him,

shouldn't he expect it from you ?

Compassion,

forgiveness, understanding.

Has the Pope said

anything about this ?

He's got the right to some privacy !

What's Matthew

been saying ?

Well, he's been

very supportive.

He thinks... being gay

has made me a good priest;

human, compassionate.

He thinks that all that's happened

recently has made me a better one;

more human...

more compassionate.

Go out and commit mass murder,

he'd want you canonized.

When you say you want

to carry on serving God--

Well, that's good.

The best way for you to serve God

is to disappear.

The best way for you to serve God

is to piss off out of my diocese.

ls that clear ?

Yes.

Good.

Here, I brought you some grapes.

Thank you.

Betty and George Hunt ask

our prayers for Betty's sister...

who's recovering

from an operation.

Jean Parkinson gave birth

two days ago, but the baby's...

not all that well,

and so we remember Jean and her

baby daughter in our prayers.

Charles and Ruth ask for our prayers

for their son, John,

who's in hospital

after a road accident.

And of course, Katy Bull asks

for our continuing prayers

for her husband, Kevin.

For these people and all

of our ill and suffering,

we ask God's help as we

remember them in our prayers.

- Lord, hear us.

- You've forgotten somebody.

Father ?

Fr. Greg...

who's recovering in hospital.

Yes.

Sorry.

Lord, hear us.

Lord, graciously hear us.

Hi.

- Greg, you've got a visitor. Right.

- Thank you.

I'm sorry.

When you get better,

we can see each other

again, yeah ?

I don't think

it's a good idea.

I'm sorry.

God bless.

Yeah, you too.

So, what now ?

Well, I've told ya.

We say Mass together.

Look, I really appreciate it,

Matthew, but I can't.

- You've got to do it.

- Well, what about the Bishop ?

Oh, bugger the Bishop.

- Don't take that literally !

Something wrong, Sean ?

- Oh, no, Father.

- Good.

- Saying Mass together ?

- Yeah.

You won't need me then ?

You're not

absolutely essential, no.

You're leaving ?

- The Bishop's told me to.

- It's our parish !

I won't be your cause, Matthew.

I won't be your crusade.

ls that how you see it ?

- Can I see Lisa, please ?

- No.

- Lisa, I'm so sorry.

- I'm closing the door now, Father.

- Please forgive me.

- I don't want to close it in your face.

- Forgive me, Lisa.

- But I will if I have to.

Will you go now, Father ?

- Forgive me.

- Will you go ?

- Hello.

- Yes ?

Fr. Greg Pilkington.

- Pardon ?

- Side door.

So, you've hurt your neck,

have you ?

No, I'm a dedicated

follower of fashion.

Thank you.

Dinner at 7:
30.

Dead pig.

-

Do you think God gives a damn ?

War. Famine. Disaster.

Millions slaughtering

each other.

With all these things on his mind,

do you really think God gives a damn...
