This.
I feel we've already reached the point of being more sad than funny. I thought the emails would be absurd and warrant absurd responses but these are just actual things Keith wants to know and actual stupid bits of advice Father Malley thinks will help this situation. It might be out of spite or a joke but under it all Keith wants to get answers and an acknowledgement out of his dad he can't get directly and that's kinda sad but the more sad thing is I don't think he'll get that acknowledgement and this won't have been worth it.

Want him to feel shame? Express embarrassment? Act differently? He probably won't do any of it. Just keep being perfect and tell you how you were wrong and then say "you could've asked me anything my son. I'm an open book"

[Keith]

I’m hoping that lying to him and making him feel like a fool will bring us closer. You don’t think so?

[Keith]

Of course.

I'm sorry
I take it back. I didn't read all the posts earlier
It was worth it for this

I don't think you think you'll grow closer, I think you think he'll feel like an ass or a jerk or shameful at all when the reveal comes (because you said he'll feel shame in this episode).
I don't think he'll feel anything or if he does he won't show it.

But if you're not looking forward to that outcome and the emails themselves are enough of a prize then I'm wrong and I'm sorry

[Keith]

He’ll be embarrassed for a minute and feel like Motherfuck what did I do and say?

He won’t admit it, but he’ll sweat as he looks back at what he wrote before he justifies it all.

I’m pleased with that.

[FingerLakes]

Cool
I'm back on board

Have Not!Catherine bring up her religion and ask him how he could live with himself after giving up being a priest. Was the love of a woman greater than the love of Christ?

Tell him that "Keith never thought I respected what he did for a living. I do but I don't really get how it makes money. But as a loving Christian I know you really took the time to understand it. Please explain it to me"

[Sparrow]

has fauxCat thanked him enough for thinking she’s pretty? Father Malley loves a good gratitude boner. #yummers #prettypretty

That's tough to reconcile, I'm sorry.

My dad died when I was 17. We didn’t get along then because I was a shitty, surly teenager.
