Calvary
by John Michael McDonagh
A priest, Father Lavelle, confronts a local mechanic and a husband regarding the domestic abuse of a woman in their community. The conversation turns hostile as they discuss morality, race, and the history of the church.
Father Leary expresses his frustration and lack of worldliness regarding the confessions he hears, specifically concerning a woman being abused. Father Lavelle acts as the more grounded, cynical, and knowledgeable counterpart.
