A holly child

Father O’Riely and father O’Brien

 

Father O’Brien.

Yes father O’Riely.

I think I would like to conceive a child.

Well of course you know it’s forbidden to conceive a child in the Holly Catholic Church father O’Riely, you do know that don’t’ you!?

O father O’Brien! Don’t be so radical, I wasn’t thinking of conceiving a child in the ‘church,’ what would happen if a parishioner came in, that would be most embarrassing.

How could you suggest such a thing!?
