we also have a local priest( with a very good reputation) that is leaving the church because the morals and ethics of the church don't match the behavior of the church.
Isn't this the kind of thing that started the Reformation, back in the day?
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

1. Don't be an asshole. No, really.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
1. Don't be an asshole. No, really.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Emily -- go out!
Perkins -- I have like a million headaches. They come and go in various parts of my head, and by the time the big magnetic machine was done with me, it was like a snooker game in my skull, one careening off another.
I'm getting precious little work done today, and am irritating the hell out of myself to boot.

Emily -- go out!
Difficult, as I'm at work. Appropriate place for looking professional, I suppose, but it's totally wasted on them! They've already got me, and I'm leaving anyway!
