Question

The priest sank down into the green chair and picked up a glossy missionary magazine. He turned the colored pages full of lepers and pagans without looking at them. "You know I can't do that, Leon. There should have been the Last Rites and a funeral Mass at the very least." Leon put on his green cap and pulled the flaps down over his ears. "It's getting late, Father. I've got to go." When Leon opened the door Father Paul stood up and said, "Wait." He left the room and came back wearing a long brown overcoat. What does the outcome of this discussion reveal about the priest? He decides to surrender himself wholly to the traditional beliefs of the Pueblo people. He realizes that he can provide a Catholic burial for Teofilo by sprinkling holy water on the grave. Though he wants to spread his religion, his friendship with Leon overshadows this desire. Though he wants to promote his religious beliefs, he is willing to make some sacrifices. Mark this and return
