I'm with you on this, though, the &quot;leaving&quot; part just wasn't that compelling to me, I guess I expected something a little more. It didn't actually seem like it benefited her all that much, if at all, as you point out. But I did enjoy reading about her life as a priest, because it was rather fascinating to me.]]></body>
