As we wait for more recent entries, here is an older one. Poor Fr. Tommy. He has to deal with a guy whose need not to be alone is nearly pathological.

Perhaps someone, like Father Tommy, might be able to provide a collection of “Table Talk” of his Excellency.
The “Noctes Attici,” if you will.
I wonder if there’s any material surviving from his days in seminary.
I also wonder if he got Chester as a puppy.
I suspect he got Chester not as a small puppy, but because someone didn’t like the irritating dog they produced by not training him, and foisted Chester off on Fatty M as a hopeful case of “like likes like”. Seems to have worked, too.
“Perhaps someone, like Father Tommy, might be able to provide a collection of
‘Table Talk’ of his Excellency.”
if it’s anything like Luther’s Table Talk (highly recommended to me as an undergrad), most of it would be too obscene for our gracious host to post.
“Fr. Tommy, your grandmother probably wants her lace back.”
