Fr. Anthony gets off an all-time rant, Taylor ponders changing his stance on burying St. Joseph to sell his house & asks the good priest some confession themed theological questions.
Working in the Church can be difficult. Fr. Anthony is proving that with the week he is currently having! He goes off about how crazy parishioners can be and Taylor just sits there with a stupid big grin on his face.
Then, Taylor gives an update on his house not selling and how it may be time for his to reconsider his previous stance on a popular superstition and/or Catholic practice in order to sell the house more quickly.
Finally, Taylor asks some questions about commiting sins in a Church which leads to some fun thought experiments.
