One of the unspoken rules of the Church is the more practical social work you do, the more doctrinal leeway and quiet backing you get. Academic theologian sitting in a faculty office?

I tend to avoid my regular drinking spots in December as the Two-can Van Dammes are normally out in force.
Convinced they can still pack it away like they did at university. Which was 20 years and three children ago.
