The Challenges of Providing Solace in Confession
Father Leary Things you hear in confession these days. It's depressing.
Father James You have to detach yourself from it. We're here to provide solace. Your personal feelings don't come into it.
Father Leary I know that. What do you take me for? It's difficult, though, the mess people make of their lives.

The Nature of Human Desire and Recognition
Bishop Garret Montgomery We have to ask ourselves: What does this man want? He wants to be loved, of course. We all want to be loved. Failing that he wants to be... admired. Failing that he wants to be feared. Failing that, he wants to be hated and despised. You should beware the man who wants to be hated and despised. Don't you think?
Father James I think you read that in a book, your Excellency.
