A sexual problem! Malachi did not even know what to say to that.

(Because it was true, to an extent.)

That was not the issue right now. The issue was that this Father Merritt was taking this place away from him.

"...No," was his reply. He took a step back. "There have been no problems, as far as I'm aware. The bishop has not mentioned that we would be getting a new priest, what did he... say to you?"

Nor had he mentioned where else he would be sending Malachi, if this man was to be taking over his position as head priest.
