Father Tom Farley has found peace and lost his faith. He invokes the gods of pop theology and atones with sacramental burgundy. Seminarian Mark Dolson is aflame with love for his Lord, in hot water for his ideas... and subjected to a baptism of fire by the priest he calls "a song and dance theologian, a phony and a drunkard". "Don't kick ass", counsels Father Tim. "Better than kiss it", says Mark.
