A catholic priest holding Bible in his hands
Sitting all alone at river walk like Jesus suffering on the cross
His worn out boots showed holes in his socks wearing a worn out hat
I disturbed his prayers for a conversation
Christian principle he told me is to “Give something and you will always get something back”
“But not women” I replied and he laughed
We started from raskonlikov and ended on brothers karmazov
I told him he should be a professor with all his wisdom and he answers how he studied philosophy at USF
I inquired what makes him the way he is like Socrates not caring about his outward appearance
He replied, “I have been rejected by the church, by people and world as a whole except Jesus Christ”
