"The Power and the Glory"
Graham Greene’s The Power and the Glory chronicles the journey – both physical and spiritual/metaphysical – of a “whiskey” priest. At the novel’s close, the priest is executed for, in essence, being a priest.
Do you think the priest’s death served any purpose in the grand scheme of things? Refer to our discussion on Thursday about Part 4 of the novel, and the presentation of the priest’s death through the eyes of other, minor characters.
