Dr. Nasey.

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

I joined the clergy to help people to make a difference.

For the most part, I like to think that's true.

When someone came to me and poured out his soul,

it is my obligation to take that confession with me to the grave.

There are no exceptions.

And those who dig up the details are often excommunicated from the church.

You might imagine that there are instances where this proves to be a crisis of conscience

for the pastor involved.

I'm here to relate one of those instances to you.

Most of you might think by doing so.

I am breaking the pastor penitent privilege.

But there are certain loopholes which protect me.

I will explain them first before we get started.

The confessionary will never be named.

The events have long passed and most parties involved are dead.

Only God may be their judge now for their actions.

Certain aspects of the account will require a specific time or place.

Those portions of the story I will be using public records

that do not break the seal of confession.

I joined the priesthood at the insistence of my father.
