AARRGHH!!! STUPID WRITERS OR STUPID PRIEST!!!
In an earlier episode of "House", a doctor faked a test result to effect the death of an African dictator who was killing his own people.
In last week's episode, the doctor goes to confession and asks what he needs to do to receive absolution, and the priest tells him he needs to turn himself into the authorities.
This is a moronic statement.
Whether or not killing the dictator was the right thing from the perspective of Catholicism has nothing to do with the legal system. If the fictional priest couldn't see that, he's a moron, and if the writers didn't realize this, they are morons.
