This fantastical Australian tale concerns the theological life of Frank O'Connor (The Horned Bouncer in Bad Clergy), from his first calling to when other voices entered his head whilst training for the Catholic priesthood. There can be no greater life than one in which the most intense feelings are reserved for the mystery that is Catholic theology. It is the role of the Catholic priest to reveal this mystery, as though he were the Christ, to all who would willingly accept him. The priest, when all is against him, must prove himself equal even to the Devil, who exists to oppose him. Having risen above the ordinary, the virgin priest Frank when ordained, must be required to produce works worthy of his God, with his faith in God and in his church his only guide.
"Then he Frank, will make ungodly utterances in these pages; and devilishly, he'll grow strong feelings and think to throw his catholic faith over his shoulders." - John Clancy
"Then he, Frank will adhere to, and associate himself with questions concerning mind-synced dogma, and who will also make auto-suggestive penance." - Mark Kelly
"Then he will consider atheist and other measured discourses in secret; and glad is he who can do such things in the moments which he can count as honest, that he may the more boldly do it." - Matt Muldoon
"And then he Frank, being hardened, will show himself as he is. And he, being thrown against a gulf of misery, and for fortitude and grace he rides it, shall then launch into his enemy's deceivings." - Luke Mahone
"Feck!" - The goosey two
