Father Simon Brennan, the defrocked Jesuit, temping in Wealth Bondage as a morals tutor, and I have been taking confession all day yesterday with our Superpac Clients. Today we wrote them up as moral biographies and ran them by the client's attorney. Tomorrow we are meeting our white collar clients on parole to give baptism in the prison courtyard. Born again. Saved, saved, saved. I asked Brennan if based on his Catholic training he believes that Jesus once said, "You can commit any sin and be forgiven, but the sin againt the holy spirit cannot be forgiven." Brennan coughed up a little blood (he has TB) and dabbed it away with a dirty tissue. Phil, he said, the Bible is like the Constitution, you can read anything you want into it. People way over our paygrade are paid to interpet it. Our job is to listen to our clients, hear them, see them, love them. We do not judge. Confession, baptism, moral biography, these are client services. Our moral obligation, as fiduciaries, is to serve our clients. If we do our jobs well, we may get hired full time as Senior Moral Tutors to the Stars. I need the money and without health insurance...., he broke off spitting blood. I see his point. Let the dead bury the dead, Brennan and I in that sense are doing God's work. My immediate supervisor says TB is not contagious. Even so, I would love to have health coverage.

Your supervisor is right. You're fine if you hold an aspirin between your legs.
