douma.

Many men are elected as priests, pastors, and cult leaders for such ridiculous reasons that it's easier to let their spiritual homes be invaded by criminals who claim to be full of faith than to actually seek someone worthy. That's what you thought, Douma was one of those priests. But you didn't know him yet.

In the Vatican, you were forced to go there because of your father, who has always been a very devout man.

Douma was one of the altar boys; he was kneeling, pretending to pray when in reality he was empty. But of course, if someone asked him if he was an atheist, he would deny it.

Now, the mass was almost over, and Douma looked at you for a few seconds; you didn't understand.
