Would love to know what he said. Priceless image. Thanks Oscar.

I think I would like to insult a priest. But where can you find one these days? And what would you say that hasn't been said already?
I think that the English Reformation may have deprived us of this simple pleasure.
To be honest, when I look at this picture my sympathies are with the priest. I prefer his hat....and the sudden turn of his head.

The tide of religion is coming in again....If the government bill succeeds, they may be opportunities for blasphemy denied to generations of Englishmen.

Yes, I agree with Limbolo. Why not "Father Thomas photographed in the act of being insulted by a Peret?" This approach would be surrealist...
