Left the nonexistent relationship with a cult icon to be with another human. Good for him.

This didn't have such a wholesome outcome for Cricket.
Is that from a british tv show? I remember something like that vaguely.
It’s always sunny in Philadelphia
No, I can assure you it does indeed rain and snow in Philly.
Fleabag Season 2?
I was gonna reply to you with a fleabag priest GIF but now I got myself all worked up 😳
Queen takes bishop?
unless they adopted I doubt she's a bird.
His prayers were answered, I suppose. Successful success.
Once he stopped praying to a third party and started talking to the ladies directly did his outcome change. The lesson is "you can do more than pray"
I think he just was selective.
I'm just going to leave this here...

I'm fine with it if there's boob
On the other hand, I'm an atheist but she makes me believe there is a god
He looks happy, good for him
Probably happens more often than you think. What happens if you stop being a priest get married and a regular job? Well life moves on for you.
Just realized. That's probably why there are so many pedophiles in church. They simply are the ones staying there.
The church was a place where wealthy families could "hide away" male children who were problematic.
They could literally pay for a position like being a bishop.
It's worth keeping in mind that "problematic" could mean surviving to adulthood along with one of your elder brothers. Either way, this meant that it was quite possible to have people who were not on board with celibacy being required to be celibate through no real choice of their own. Or not, which is far more messy.
I am definitely missing the joke here. Can someone explain?
It's the same bishop / priest / holy person in all 6 parts of the comic. This is showing the progression of a person following their desires.
- At first, he doesn't look
- Next, he side glances
- Then, he's glancing a lot
- Then, he's blatantly staring
- After that, he's actually engaging
- Finally, he has apparently succumbed to his desires and engaged enough to no longer wear his robes and have a kid.
Also, in the last frame she is wearing his old robe.
I think I got all that, but is there a joke in this? Or is it just supposed to be a heartwarming story or whatever?
Yeah, I don't think there's a concrete joke in this. Many comics are just a light chuckle as you flip through the newspaper...
It's a progression story.
"The Sin" - Heinrich Lossow
the Slavic caption confused me because Eastern Christian priests are fully allowed to marry
I feel like she knew exactly what she was doing, walking by him so often.
It was different women, some noses are different.
