The Angry Man, Truth and Me...
The man was visibly angry. You could see it in his demeanor and his challenging tone towards the priest.
"What you're saying is that if someone wants to get married and agrees with their partner to avoid having children then they can't get married in the Catholic Church?"
The priest looked stoically at the man, searching for the correct words to avoid fanning the flames but conscious that other men were listening. He deliberately uttered, "Correct."
You could feel the tension in the room rising, as everyone started shifting in their seats bracing for an eruption and trying to figure out how to stop to the runaway train, which threatened to derail our otherwise pleasant morning.
