:21:00
Even, with the Masons.
:21:03
At our expense,
at the expense of the Church.

:21:05
lt is obvious that all our riches,
that actually belong to the poor,

:21:10
will be grabbed by and split among
the most impudent ringleaders.

:21:14
What will become of those destitute
the Church feeds and guides ?

:21:20
How will those desperate
be pacified ? l'll tell you.

:21:24
We'll give them all your lands,
bit by bit !

:21:35
Our Lord healed the blind in body,
:21:38
but what will become
of the blind in spirit ?

:21:47
We're not blind in spirit,
dear Father.

:21:52
We're just human beings living
in a world that's changing.

:21:57
What are we supposed to do ?
:22:00
The Church was explicitly
promised immortality.

:22:03
As a social class,
we were promised nothing.

:22:06
To us, eternity adds up
to a hundred years !

:22:11
We have no obligation beyond
what we can see with our own eyes.

:22:16
The Church does,
because it is bound to last.

:22:21
- Comfort is implicit in its
desperation. - Excellency !

:22:24
Do you think, Father, that if
one day the Church had the chance

:22:28
to save itself sacrificing us,
it would hesitate ?

:22:34
lt wouldn't, but that's fair.
:22:47
You'll have two sins to confess,
on Saturday, Excellency:

:22:51
last night's carnal sin,
and today's spiritual. Remember.

:22:56
Look at this beauty, Father.
