So maybe Father Cornello was a fraud but you will pry Rose’s faith from her cold, dead hands. No, actually, you won’t, because it will take her to the afterlife. Or the other way around. Shame on her, maybe, to have let this evil man dupe her. But one corrupt minister does not invalidate the visceral feeling that there must be something above, beyond, that love is real, that God looks upon us, looks after us—the enemy was power, here.
People need something to believe in, to make them get up and act. And she refuses to call it a lie.
