Proofs for the Existence of God

Thu, Sep 18, 1997

Fr. Ray, pastor of the troubled inner city Catholic parish, St. Thomas has too much on his plate. The parish soup kitchen is being threatened by the rich people coming into gentrify the area. The bishop needs him to have a homily on St. Thomas Aquinas' Proofs of the Existence of God when he, himself is having his doubts. An old flame (of before his ordination) comes back in his life and awakens some of the old yearnings. She is a stepmother to one of the students at the parish school and the boy is very troubled. Add on top of that someone has been recording his Confessions and his advice is not doctrine. Also in this pilot we meet the rest of the parish staff: the old traditional but sweetly irascible, Fr. Leo; the young inexperienced Fr. Eric who has yet to learn how to give a good homily; the very modern Sr. Maureen (Mo); the Jewish Atheist accountant Sydney; the young high school secretary Rachel.
