Father Fynn

While reading Doubt, I began to wonder how much of an influence suspicions of character have on decisions. However, in the case of Father Flynn, Sister Aloysius bases her accusations of wrong-doing about him on suspicions or "gut feelings". Many might say this is considered irrational and stupid, but if there was some information in Father Flynn's past that he had done this before, Sister Aloysius would be doing a great deed. Unfortunately, she'sd be just passing on the problem to someone else. Back during this time, the Sisters of the Church didn't have nearly the power or authority to openly confront a Father or even really consult a Monsignor. Really, with no physical or even any at all, the Sister was able to have a priest step down from his position. I'm still wondering what caused all of this to conspire; perhaps the Father did something at the beginning of his term at the school. It might even be a problem with men in general since she always seems to think that Monsignor is useless with everything especially with discipline. Well, that's all for now, more to come after class today.
