A slightly comical mistake, but Piazza was apoplectic. He slammed his fist repeatedly on his desk and screamed that if one of the assistant ministers snickered, heads would roll. So help him, if just one of them deigned to clap after the recital, it would be the end of his or her career. The pastor's usual pallor had turned beet red.

I owe my life to a priest much like this one - he shattered my father's naive notions about the spirit and character of those in service of the Church in a tirade much like this one, and my father not long after decided to drop out of seminary and give up his decision to become a priest.
