MG, it sounds like you're telling the life story of my troubled Irish pastor, who seems to sincerely believe that all priests are alcoholics. He has a lot of good qualities, but a lot of anger issues - and a lot of that anger has been directed at me over the last nine years. And yes, his father was a drinker. I think he's afraid of me because I have an annoying tendency to speak the truth. He's done everything in his power to push me out of the things I've done in the church for years, and has been known to refer to a class I teach as "Joe's fucking bible study."
