FWIW, the word "pity" occurs only once in the King James New Testament, and it
is from the lips of Christ in a parable on forgiveness. Peter has asked JC how
many times one must forgive another. JC responds with a story about a lord who
forgave a servant an insurmountable debt and gave him his freedom, as well.
The servant turned around and cast a fellow servant in jail for not repaying a
lesser debt. When the lord found out he said, "Shouldest thou not also have
had compassion on thy fellow servant, even as I had pity on thee?" (Matthew
18:33) The moral of the story is that one should forgive every trespass.
Perhaps the Fr. was too forgiving regarding certain personal sins of the flesh
and was punished by being "quarantined" with ithyphallic boys for whom he had
no attraction. SOME would have considered his plight a "sinners' Paradise,"
but not the pity-ful Fr. Maire.

Perhaps the pity is that shown the adultress...and the ultimate pity toward
fallen humanity may be the union of Christ with the Bride of the Lamb at the
end of time...compared to that ultimate consummation, when Christ takes His
Bride, the good Fr's indiscretions look like a j(h)umping Dog who can't catch
the "Trick."

The paragraph begins with Erections and ends with a Trick, so the whole thing
smacks of a puerile horny old Fr, to me.
