One time I went down there, the local priest came round, this freakish Jesuit monk. He’d just come back from Africa – one of them people that touch you and you’re ‘healed’. To bring this into my mum was offensive enough, but then to turn around and say that the reason it wasn’t working was because I was challenging him – that was despicable. I was really, really upset. I don’t like being victimized by conmen. Every analyst, psychiatrist, spirit toucher, ghost hunter, psychic or priest on this earth is there to do you wrong.
