Priest Willie tells him not to worry. In fact, he says: “What are you talking about? You did exactly what I or anybody else would have done, which is do your best to protect your family.”
Even Arnold knows this is baloney, but, hey, he’ll take it. Priest Willie continues: “We all do things we wouldn’t want anyone else to know about.”
By the time they’re done, Arnold feels better. That was Thursday night. And today after reading Priest Willie’s (pay-walled) column in the Chronicle about how impregnating his housekeeper was no big deal, he’s no doubt feeling much better. A good priest is hard to find.
