But there was an impulse in the gentle day, and, turning from the sandy spit, Father Oliver walked to and fro along the disused cart-track about the edge of the wood, asking himself if he were going home, knowing very well that he could not bring himself to interview his parishioners that morning. keywords: church; country; day; doubt; eliza; end; eyes; father; father gogarty; father moran; father o'grady; father oliver; father peter; glynn; god; gogarty; going; good; home; house; ireland; island; lake; letter; life; man; mind; miss; moment; moran; nora; parish; poole; priest; road; saying; story; things; thinking; thought; time; tinnick; trees; way; woman; wood; writing; years cache: 11304.txt plain text: 11304.txt item: #3 of 8 id: 1388 author: Wister, Owen title: Padre Ignacio; Or, The Song of Temptation date: None words: 9761 flesch: 87 summary: Why, Padre, I think that your library contains none of the masses and all of the operas in the world!

A Priest has the same essence, is composed of the same elements, endowed with the same organization as other men; he has no more natural command, no greater power, no greater right; Priests do not come into the world with crosiers, or with, mitres, or with rosaries; the revolutions of matter create and destroy them; they are decomposed as a cow or a cabbage. keywords: god; men; nature; priests cache: 38377.txt plain text: 38377.txt item: #6 of 8 id: 42011 author: Baring-Gould, S.
