Once I represented ...I used to be a divorce lawyer. Once I represented a woman whose husband was divorcing her because she had gotten pregnant by their Catholic parish priest. She had gone to the priest for marriage counseling and the dirt bag seduced her.<br /><br />I expect the priest to be some kind of hottie, like Richard Chamberlain in the Thornbirds. But this priest, who had several affairs with women all at the same time and who had gotten other women pregnant, was much less attractive than the Phillip Seymour Hoffman version of Father Flynn. The guy was repulsive, and my client, who believed herself in love with him, had initially seen the priest as respulsive . . . I think one reason that a priest's violation of a parishioner, adult or child, is possible is because the parishioner/sinner comes to the priest in his role as God's medium. The parishioner, adult or child, is attracted to the priest's putative godliness. Many think priests are closer to god, that priests and other religious like nuns, are holier than ordinary folks. . the ones who violate people's faith are predators, wolves in sheep's clothing. <br /><br />Trust me, alison, they aren't all cuties the way you imagined them when you read the play. The priest that knocked up my old divorce client, who was already a mother of four other children, he was fat, bald, greasey, his glasses were thicker than coke bottles.<br /><br />Phillipp Seymour Hoffman looked perfect as Father Flynn to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35012109.post-65565128504391929302009-09-04T18:34:58.016-07:002009-09-04T18:34:58.016-07:00i would love to have you write me a wedding poem
