So you think that he lied in order to “be kind”?
That’s what I don’t get. Father E. is a great Catholic etc., but he lies in order to “be nice”.
How does that fit with his persona?
Maybe we should just take him at his word and see.

Did I use the word lie? A priest needs to be obedient (kind, generous, etc.). That means not to spout off as to the reasons he was being relieved of his duties. He wasn’t lying.
