Synopsis

At the bishop's house, the bishop reads from an advance copy of a novel 'Budawanny: A Bishop's Tale' by Thomas Connor, with a statement on the flap saying that it is now a major film. He writes to the author telling him he has no need to read it. The bishop recollects that the story is as old as the hills. A young priest has an affair with his housekeeper. They become lovers and she gets pregnant. At mass, the priest announces that soon they'll have another reason to call him Father and that he intends to look after the woman and child. The bishop rings, summoning the priest to see him. At the bishop's house, the priest is criticized for making such a statement from the pulpit, while he counters that Christ would have done the same. Marian leaves. The bishop reflects on the events and tells his secretary merely to acknowledge the receipt of the book. Above all, he thinks, he needs to be prudent.
