Description

This short story derives from my experience as a member of a Catholic parish in Boston during the height of the priest abuse scandal. I imagined what it would be like for a regular guy named Chuck (who happened to be one of the abused former altar boys) to be confronted with a saint-like gay lay minister preaching to him from the pulpit-immediately after the Red Sox had proved that modern miracles were possible by winning the World Series.
