andrew:  8.16 `a parsonickal Disguise' implying that Wicks is not really 
a
clergyman? Note how he claims that he should have been hanged and
resurrected to justify his current `parsonickal' appearance. Perhaps
the suggestion is that the only person fit to give moral, spiritual
and/or religious guidance is Christ.

Yup.  just a little sampling of priestly self-disgust.  common enough for 
those wearing the quotidian collar--all I can say is I can empathize.  
Problem with being of the persuasion is we don't have that "destroying 
Buddha Buddha" deal.
