Slightly exagerated.
Padre: Have you taken the name of the Lord in vain?
Moi: Yes, but not seriously. More in that cursory kinda frickamaticky blast ye….

Padre: Ok… how about sins of unclean thoughts & deeds?
Moi: Guilty.
Padre: Alone or with someone.
Moi: Guilty.
Padre:…
Moi: (blush)
Padre: Um ok.. next… How about sins related to anger?
Moi: (insert lengthy story)
Padre: Wow.
Moi: Yeah.
Padre: Wow.
Moi:Yeah.
Padre: Well. It’s good to honor that anger. You must allow yourself to recognize the anger before you’re able to move beyond and forgive yourself and forgive others. God’s grace doesn’t oblige you to develop friendships as a result of conflict. That’s not what forgiveness means. But finding personal resolution and recognizing God’s grace within and beyond a situation is more important. You must honor the anger and not deny it before you can forgive others, and yourself, and move past it.
Moi: Wow.
Padre: Yeah.
Moi: Wow.
Padre: Yeah.
