| While this story is located in the culture of the archdioceseof Chicago at the present time ( 1988 ). none of thecharacters in the story are based on real men and women.Nor is there any real counterpart of either Saint Finian sparish or the West Side suburb of Forest Springs None of the institutions or events of the story aremodeled on institutions that actually exist or events thathave actually happened. The Society of Corpus Christiexists only in my imagination, though there are realorganizations that have as much power and are very littlebetter. Are there "New Priests" like Jamie Keenan in theCatholic Church today? Sure there are. Not very manyperhaps, but as Father Lar says in this story, you don tneed more than a few such priests. |
