- Directly following the scene in which Frankie recieves the 3rd wound of the stigmata, there is a scene where the priest catches up with her in a public market place. They sit down in a cafe and Frankie finds out he was/is an organic chemist and then asks why he became a priest. He replies in a great clip, that "there were just too many holes" and that the science he learned just couldn't explain life. He goes on to say that he found, ultimtely, the explaination he sought could only be found in God. (Lindsay Braman, Parsons, KS)
