...Strawman baptist.

A Baptist preacher would -never- be called a priest, or referred to as "Father". Given how you paint Mr Ryan, he would probably have hated anything to do with Catholicism, including the titles of the hierarchy.

Truly a unique story and fantastically written... I swear you can present so much more in a few paragraphs than I can in pages and pages. I love this piece. The realism is startling and yet the justice and idealism of it shine through with dazzling clarity. I am so impressed.
