Have you seen how he is better than the others?
It's a Mass, Angela, not a match
Instead of kidding, you could be proud of my son
Of our son
What a voice, Joseph!
You have an angel's voice
The Mass with you is much more...
More ecumenical, you always say that
You speak Latin, now? I thought you were only speaking about ass
Sorry Madam
Look, just like me when I was young
I was wearing the same veil
But God didn't want me, because I was always vomiting
But, what a badly educated person
June 1962
Geppe, could you stop whenever you can?
Don't worry, I'm stopping at the top of the hill
Joseph, grab the suitcase and tell Geppe that we will walk across the plateau
You'll be able to do it?
Yes, that's not the end of the world
I won't take this coach anymore. It kills me.
You say that each time
I have only one son
- Isn't that too heavy for you? - No, I will be good
Wow, you're strong!
Thank you Geppe
Look Mum, we are already at the spring
Mum!
No, it's the dad's role to carry And the mum's role to chat
- And the son? - He give's us happiness
It smells good!
Mmm, this boy is mine, we have the same belly
And my belly? Was it useless?
I kept him 10 months inside me
And I thought he will never come out, my dear
Before you was born I knew you will become someone important
Mr Director...
"Benedic, Dómine, nos et hæc tua dona"
"quæ de tua largitáte sumus sumptúri"
"Per Christum Dóminum nostrum"
- Amen - Amen
Your 'benedicite' was longer than usual, right?
- I'm sure your dad did not notice anything - Amen...
And what is this 'new' thing?
"Teach us to share our bread for those who need it"
They know a lot of things there
Are you not tired to say the same things again and again?
I'm sad that the Goro name is disappearing
That's my only legacy to my son
But it's not a legacy
He wants to be a priest, how can I accept it?
You speak like if you can do something against that
He is the one who decides to be a priest
You brought him at the Church even before he was walking
That's not true
If he wanted to be a musician, I would have given him a trumpet rather than a bottle.
We will never agree...
What do I need to add?
And I? What do I need to add?
In fact there's nothing to add You know I'm right
Jump in, my beautiful Torero
All this is appetizing. I can eat it.
From that side, he is hung like me
With such a holy water sprinkler, I don't think he will be a priest
Mum!
I'm no more a child!
I'm your mother You're still pure, my love
You still have the sex of an angel
Not like you! With the snake you have between your legs!
To make this angel you had to taste my snake, right?
"Difficult time for people from Algeria. They have to flee and left all their stuff there."
"600,000 men, women and children are massing in boats to move to France"
They say they are already thousands of them landing here
I don't know how this mess will end
That's not good for us
They are French, they come back home, so the jobs will be reserved for them
Goro, you have diarrhea before even to eat something
In this country, there's enough room for all, you know it
For those who are hungry, there's no bread too dry
Joseph, come here to give us a hand
You want him to burst out? He can't learn lessons and dig the earth at the same time
And what am I doing? Nothing?
He is an intellectual, and you are a dunkey
I'm maybe a dunkey
but at his age and at that time of the day, I already have earnt half of my day
What do you see for him ? That he looks after goats and watch trains?
You have a bad temper!
Tell me...
What about my temper?
You don't like it?
I could eat you!
"Introibo ad altare Dei"
"Ad Deum qui lætificat juventutem meam"
"Lavabo inter innocentes"
"manus meas"
Wait!
"Corpus Domini nostri custodiat"
"animam meam in vitam æternam"
Amen
It's good that you train yourself
The champions are those who are well trained
At the end of your Mass, you need to go to the sawmill
Your dad forgot his lunch, again
It has been a long while
Thank you for taking care of me
I feel well, you know
Take care of dad and mum too
Hello Joseph, how are you doing?
I'm doing well
You have a nice dress
Thank you
But I thought that priests should not look at girls
- I'm not a priest yet - But you want to become priest, idiot!
Do you go to the sawmill?
Eh, Priest! You chase after girls?
It's good to be on holidays
I can be with you
She was beautiful
There's nothing nicer, my son
Nothing nicer than a girl's ass
Yesterday on a horse
Today on a bike
Stop it, dad
But do nothing with Véronique
She's my boss's daughter
Are you hungry, honey?
Eat!
- Mum!!! - What? I'm your mother!
I'm not like other women You came from here
Ho shit!
What's wrong?
It seems that you will have a little brother
If I don't do it at my age
I will never have one
And this one? How long will you keep him? 15 months?
You should pray to have a girl Then you can make her a nun
Joseph!
Joseph
I prepared the chorizo you like
But you refuse some bread
There are millions children starving
I'm listening to you, my son
My father
I've sinned by omission
It's serious
I got angry
It's not necessarily a sin
It's sometime showing that you have some character
What do you think he did...
Jesus...
When he drove away the merchants from the Temple?
He's got a tantrum
But I got angry against my own mum
I don't want any sister or brother
If she has one
It's because the Lord wants it
Then more than a sin of anger,
it's a sin of self-indulgence
And that's not nice
I know that
That's why I came here
But can I get absolution?
You have it - "Te absolvo in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen"
Without penance?
There should always be a penance
If you want it
1 Pater and 12 Ave
What do you expect me to say?
Penance is not important
The important thing is to be repented
In our Lord's eyes
Other things are...
gimmicks and bigotry, Joseph
Don't tell me that your are still learning that in the Seminar
It's because of all this nonsense that churches are empty
Look, this is the appearance
The pageantry
The words of the Lord are important
Nothing else
For you
For your Masses
It's better than honesty's leaves
But I can't
Another hogwash. They are not consecrated. It's just bread.
Don't worry
There are things that are taught
And things that you learn by yourself
Joseph
Take you time. I keep the seat for you.
He is cute, the priest
- Hello Mrs Goro - Hello
- And you, how are you doing? - Well
He's getting taller and more and more cute
It's sad that you're lost for the girls
Don't worry, my son is not food for donkeys
Hello Léonce!
he told me that I need to pull back the skin to avoid it sticks on the glan
He is the glan!
Why does he tell you that?
I just should take care If I don't I may need surgery
A surgery?
Come!
No, mum, a surgery if I don't take care And if I want to have children
And what did you answer?
I'm not really concerned, mum
Fuck off, guy! (in Spanish)
My son is a saint
Hello Mrs Goro
Hello Véronique
Joseph, I'll write letters for you
That's a good thing that they are looking after you at the Seminar
Because...
... here we go, all the girls will come
Funny
They have smelt the honey pot
All of them... all of them! But they can try!
Is there a woman who can give you more love than I do?
Your mother
Good morning Mum
It's peasants' hour, not a bishop's hour
Drink your orange juice It's full of vitamins. I squeezed 3
In all the good houses, you have that at breakfast
Sometime rich people add water. Here it's pure juice
- Eat - I'm not hungry, Mum
Who knows you better than your mum
Before you start to walk I saw your sole
Joseph, don't be late
You're in a hurry to see him gone?
Eat well
What is not poison will feed you And think to pull the skin back
Yes Mum
Oh, we should go
Geppe, take care of my son
Like if he was the Pope
Why do you tell everything about us to everybody?
What? Excuse me, but already wanted to be a Pope at the age of 4
Joseph!
Do you need something?
A pillow? No?
You were listening, of course!
So give me the definition
Goro, you don't need to look naive to be beatified
Bring the brush back here
Yes, Barteau
A Council is like the Olympic Games of the Church
The Pope brings together all the Bishops in Vatican
For a hurdle race?
For doctinal and moral debates
And what's the name of this new Council? "The Sinners United"?
Vatican II
When was the last Council? 2 weeks ago? 3,000 years?
92 years
That's it, 92 years! You'll copy 92 times the definition of Council
Here we go, Goro!
Of course you don't spell Council with a 'K'
Since he decided to be a white priest bullying blacks in Africa
He is in his role
You'd like to be a Missionary?
Oh no, not me
I'd like to be Bishop or Cardinal
Pope?
You have no chance! You're not Italian!
You told me "dare or not"?
No?
No one was in the office
I quickly grabbed the key
There are only nuns here
The real Lord's blood...
... was probably not 12% alcohol
We blaspheme!
It's not a blaspheme, it's not consacred, idiot
For now it's just wine
Hey! Look!
Hurry up! You're missing something
Women should be forbidden here
Look, in the Genesis, everything is Eve's fault
Yes, only one apple but a lot of seeds
Is there someone here?
You were smoking, right?
I will catch you, sooner or later!
Hey, come and look
Joseph, bring your Virgin
A real paschal candle

Louis-Renaud? You can't sing? A sore throat?
No, no, I just don't like that I prefer Gregorian chant
Why do we call it Gregorian chant, if Grégoire Ist died in year 604
And the first Gregorian chant was in year 680?
Is that a question for me?
With all thesvholars here, you ask the wrong person, Joseph
I teach you how to sing, and only that
The choir with Sister Marguerite, and harmonium class with me
But one after the other
Good! Carry on!
You're not even able to stay quiet for five minutes!
How could you do your whole life?
We can need them upstairs Are you OK to go there after the meal?
Not me... I prefer to have...
An harmonium lesson
Eh, you're chasing the little novice girl, Joseph Goro?
Stop it!
Harmonium is very good during a mass
Yes, but explain me how you will manage that
Handling the Chalice hile playing harmonium?
Put your hands like that
and keep your torso long
Why are you so uptight? I won't eat you
long doesn't mean stiff as a broomstick
You are all the same. Constipated!
We could not enter a millet's seed in your...
... in your ass
OK, play again
What happens? Do I have a black spot?
I wonder if...
but it's silly
I wonder where you place your hair
You, the nuns
In your opinion?
That's a shame
Where are they?
What do you know?
No!... But...
Hunging down hair is cute
When I will pronounce my final vows, they will cut them
if I pronounce my final vows
How old are you?
Let's go!
Why do you need to react like this?
Why did he stop over there?
Maybe something happened
Why do could happened to him?
Shut up! I'm already in pain!
He walked across the plateau because it's a shortcut
What if he fell in a ravine? Did you think about it?
No!
You only want to have the dinner ready
You know nothing about a mother's pain
My son!
Alive!
You saved my life... I was about to be killed
Never do that again!
But, what did I do, mum?
What you did? And you ask? But all the bad things happened to you
But you're strong, my son
Step aside! Always in the way!
It's not your role to set the table
It's your mother's duty to serve you
I don't want to interfere but
What? What's wrong?
Dare to tell us
Oh, I'm not embarassed...
But didn'tyou forget something?
With all those emotions...
"Benedic, nos, Domine et haec tua dona"
Quae de tua largitate sumus sumpturi
Per Christum Dominum nostrum
- Amen - Amen
"It's the new sound that rages in UK From Liverpool"
"Created by 4 boys who are called the Fab Four"
"They have long hair and all the English are won over"
"Because their first single, released last Fall, is #1 in UK"
"Their name: The Beatles"
From who are you hiding?
Come for dinner. Then I will wash you.
I'm a big boy now, you don't need to wash me
You're much nicer like this
Sometime a small thing can do a lot
What about me?
Do you think I'm cute?
Because I'm changing now I can feel it
Everywhere
My head
All my body
The other night, at school
I've seen the...
You know.. the... of Louis
The paschal candle, as he calls it
And...
Mine too...
I would really like that someone speaks to me like that
If I don't do it, nobody will do it
And I don't like to be spied on
Spied on?
Who are you? You're crazy! The holy water makes you mad!
Ho... Hoho...
What "ho"? Why are you shouting?
I don't shout
Of course you shout! You're mean!
I'm sorry I don't want to be mean
Are you OK?
Let's go to swim?
Yes!
I've already seen boys in underwear
And you don't need to hide, it's all transparent
You're not like the others
But I'm normal
Do you like girls?
Yes
- But... - But what?
I look at them but I don't have dirty ideas
Can you dry my back?
Here are my wages, boss!
There is 5,000 extra?
I don't even know how much I earn
But you're completely wet
Where do you come from?
Where does he come from?
From the river
I went to swim
You swam?
Say something!
Are you allright, son?
Yes, dad
I come back
You come back, right?
I need to confess
He needs to go to confession
When you look at a wonderful, a majestic landscape
Do you hide your eyes?
No, you say "it's beautiful"
And you are right
So, when you look at a girl's body
Why would you hide your eyes?
Because it's a sin
The Lord made the man, and the woman, like him. It's in the Bible
And the Lord is cute, right
Of course!
Then the man is cute and the woman is cute
Yes
But for a priest
The only woman is the Virgin
No, Joseph
For a priest, the woman
is his mother, his sister
Or maybe a girl he kissed when he was young
And it's a woman
that he admires, because she's cute
It's simple as that
It's not because we wear a cassock that we stop having lust
Ouch! It's burning!
You burned because you were afraid, because you do not trust
If you do it without hesitation
You won't be burned
That is your problem, Joseph
Enjoy your life fully No fear, no hesitation
Don't be afraid
Come on, let's go!
But you didn't gave me a penance?
No!
There's no penance
The Lord already perdoned you 100 times, believe me
Hurry up or I lock you inside!
It's beautiful like a sleeping woman
If you have a woman in man's arms
It forms the nicest Cross
That's all my religion
And all I wish for you
You're no more a child now
We can speak from man to man
I don't like that you want to be a priest
The Faith has a new enemy
The noise
Note that I didn't speak about music
I said the noise
The idiotic noise
The barbaric noise
The obscene noise which prevents the recollection
So, here, no "twist"
no "rock"
no "yéyé"
The called-up boys to serve the Lord should not be slave of fashion
Neither give importance to their external appearance
Therefore
we cut... and we shave
♪ Closer to you, my Lord, closer to you ♪
♪ To help me to serve you better, stand by me ♪
My cheat paper!
I'm pissed off with these written tests about Faith
Why Faith?
Yes, Goro, tell us about Faith We listen to you
Faith is when you believe in God
It's a deep conviction of our soul and heart, surpassing all certainties
That's Faith
We can feel God with heart
Not with our reasoning
Blaise Pascal
Good! For the test you seat beside me!
I have a better one
Balzac: "He loved the Virgin Mary
like he loved his wife"
If I were you, I wouldn't answer that here
Attention!
- Wait for me! - Ho "toothpick", hurry up!
Always late, this one!
Smile!
Goro, do you cheat on me?
I knew it!
Even your father wanted to hide it!
Mum, you won't be behind me all your life?
If I'm a priest, you won't say Mass for me?
If you're a priest? There's no "If"
I searched for 5 minutes before finding him
A mother who looks after his own son and who can't recognize him
Do you know what it is?
No! Of course, you can not know!
What happens, dear Madam?
Christ and the Apostles had long hair, right?
By what right could you touch my son?
Today, you cut his hair And tomorrow?
We are not tomorrow
And here, I'm responsible for your son's education
It's my duty to teach him how to renounce to appearance
You speak about education, and you're dressed like a dandy
That's not a correct dressing for a priest
- Mum! - You, shut up!
Before being God's son you're your mother's son
Never forget this!
Mum!
You should not get angry like that
That's not important, I don't miss them
I miss them Like they were before
I'm no more a child
I'm a man now
What do you say? A man? You will never be a man
You're higher than that, purer You're an angel, my angel forever
Marty
Bonnet
Savageau
Coroy
Goro
Everyone is appreciating Goro's pull-over?
So now he can do up his blouse
Unless his mother is against it
Let my mother alone!
What? What did I hear?
I want all the 'Rebellion' synonyms and their definition for tonight
Go back in the queue!
My letter!
Back in queue!
Shit! He beats you with a rosary and then he goes away!
God is for all of us If one screws it up, he is punished
I wonder how many vocations he has discouraged
This, I don't care But the fact that he reads letters
And what does she write to you, your Véronique?
Dirty talks of course! Does she worth it?
I hope you didn't make her pregnant
Hurry up, he is coming!
Wednesday March the 23rd, 1963 French composition "to love his fellow humans"
Are you finished?
You can get out
That's all good
You scared me
I haven't seen you for a while
You look older with short hair
I prefer like that
- And you? - I?
When will you get your hair cut?
I won't get them cut!
I made a mistake
Spending all my life in a convent, that's not for me
I'm suffocating I need Sun
I want to laugh
Joseph
It's simple
I'm a woman, right?
Because she was a woman of great beauty
She used to walk in her husband's gardens
Two old men were seeing her every single day
They started to desire her
Fearing to speak to her about their lust
They tricked every day to see her
One day It was a hot day
Suzanne wanted to bathe
The gardens were empty
Only the two old men were hidden watching her
She said to the maids "Give me oils and balms"
"And close the garden's gate so nobody can enter"
"and then I can bathe"
As soon as they left, the two hold men jumped on her and said
"Nobody can see us, we want you, accept and make love with us"
"If you refuse, we will tell that a young man was with you"
"And you put your maids away in order to make love with him"
And during their speech
they teared off all her clothes to watch her beauty
Because Suzanne was very delicate
And beautiful
Nobody noted something?
Why do I need to speak all the time about Vatican II?
From this day on
Mass should be celebrated facing the faithfull
And in French
Wake up!
Christ is risen!
And you want to preach Him in a dead language?
Even if I speak all the languages on Earth
If love is lacking, I'm empty as a ringing bell
Even if my faith can move mountains If love is lacking, that's useless
Love never die
Thank you, Madam
- What is he doing? - I don't know
But now, this is becoming serious for him!
I have an idea
♪ Bless us, O Lord ♪
"Refectory"
Stop it! Stop it now!
For your hair that you won't cut
My prayers are with you, Joseph
The priest bursar is unequivocal
Somebody sabotaged the valve for fire fighting installation
That's not an accident
This was done deliberately
Vandalism Pure and simple
Which is directed against discipline
But against the property of the Church too
It's a grave offense.
Only the Devil could inspire such a behaviour
If the one who did that doesn't come forward
You will all have to pay for his fault
I leave each of you on his own conscience,
So... It was you!
Were you alone?
Yes
I'm not surprised, Goro
Everyone here can see that day after day, you distance yourself from God
The sanction should be severe
Watch out, you two
Is that you? Or you?
It's me
You come with me in the chapel we must save the lost sheep
When the worm is in the fruit, when evil runs rampant, we have to pray
I believe in you my Lord You have my faith into disarray
One thousand times each
You can see that it's neither an aquarium nor a post stamp
It's a... television set
Sometime science and human progress are helping to serve the Lord
Imagine the Pope on this screen talking to us
"urbi et orbi" from the balcony of Saint-Pierre in Rome
It should cost a fortune
"It's the 20th person shot when crossing from Berlin East to Berlin West"
Marxism is the leprosy of the modern world
"In Rome where the Pope Jean XXIII, Bishops and Cardinals"
"Are gathered for the Council Vatican II"
Be quiet! Be quiet! We want to see...
"Eurovision"
- You recognised? - No!
"Te Deum" , Marc-Antoine Charpentier "Te Deum"?
Yes Barteau?
Te deum laudamus te dominum confitemur You are God we praise you
You are the Lord we acclaim you
It's better than in a classroom
That's the Pope
That's us in a few years!
Joseph Goro, promoted on his Throne Louis and I, carrying him
- No, don't do this twice! - Don't be an idiot
I just gonna piss
Wow, that's wonderful!
I was scared
Scared?
Scared that you left
You were not here
But Sister Napoli, you heard like me, there's someone
You've got a bad night, Goro? So, who wrote that?
I wasn't listening, Father
Saint Augustin "love and do what you want"
Love and do what you want
Agnès!
Long life to the Pope Joseph Goro
Long life to the Pope
If you have faith into the Lord, he will help you
If you want to be a priest you should grow up with Him
This dismissal of one week will be beneficial
I need to get out
Are you allright?
I don't want to be a priest anymore
Father?
I'd like to walk now
Do you want me to tell her?
Good bye, Goro
Farewell
Oh, Joseph, how are you doing?
What happens?
I have had a woman in my arms
Some say that it's the most beautiful Cross
Who told you that?
But, you, dad
And you believed it?
You did it?
Was she pretty?
Yes dad
It's Sister Agnès
Sister
If your mother hear that...
Take care, she's waiting for you
What will we tell her? And how?
I think we need His help, above
Move ahead, move ahead
Don't stop Move ahead and find bitches
Ah, you wanted to leave him a legacy
You have it now, your legacy Are you proud of yourself?
- And it's just the start... - What do you say?
Give bread to kids and they give it back to you in a shit
It's how you thank me for all my sacrifices for you?
You rip my heart
I don't want to see you You're not my son anymore
You have no right to say that
You, shut up!
Lord, what did I do to deserve this? What fault have I done?
I did sacrifices and him, the first bitch crossing his path
He makes love with her? Who is she?
You don't answer?
You'll find a lot of bitches
Joseph...
I need to find a new successor
All the village already knows Bad time, but I will help you
Mrs Goro?
What?
You should not take this like that, Mrs Goro, the ways of the Lord...
I don't talk with communists
I never heard this one...
No need to mumble
You can keep your mumbling for you
Bad temper, but like we say God vomits the tepid ones
I like your short hair
I always had short hair too
Father
Does she barricade herself?
I'm dealing with that
What does it mean?
You don't know?
No
I don't know And then?
For 7 weeks
José
She said "José"? The flies move to another donkey
I'm pregnant
I have a Goro's baby
Don't leave, we will celebrate
Don't worry We'll do that for Baptism
My son
Perdon me, my sweet heart
I made you sad I'm sorry
I'm stupid
You won't be a Pope, it's not important And nowadays priests are people like others
And for those who are willing, there's plenty of jobs, my son
Hello, how are you?
We're doing well, Véronique
Very well, better than ever
What do you wait for? You won't stay with me. Go ahead!
Go ahead, live your life
One is leaving
Another one is coming
And this one will do what he wants
Veronique, a bell without a clapper doesn't ring
For a kiss, it's the same Without the tongue...
