Father Morris : In my early days, I was excited about confession. In fact, I used to worry that I was too excited that I would derive some sort of sick pleasure in hearing confession that it'd be titillating in some way listening to people bare their souls. That I'd revel in it. That I'd chew on those morsel bits of gossip. I don't worry about that any more. Turns out I'm not a thirteen year old girl and gossip is not genuine gossip when it's firsthand. It's sterile, clinical. It's the difference between a striptease and dropping your pants in front of a doctor. I assume.

Father Morris : I hate it. I mean in practice, not in theory. In theory... it is a beautiful act of contrition and redemption. In reality, I am trapped inside this tiny box for hours, sitting on a hard wooden chair, listening to the inane regurgitation of rote sins till my butt is numb and my mind mush.

Father Morris : Rupert Finnegan. Successful businessman. Well-respected by those who know him least. Always the first to confession, always opts for face to face confession - a type of confession that is actually somewhat common - a fact you may be oblivious to if your sole source of Catholicism was the movies.
