This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Neither Fr. Houdek nor Fr. Phil believed in confession, but Chris says it's
good for the soul. Ostensibly, that is why he compiles these memoirs, but
the actions they describe are not consistent with a character driven by the
need of forgiveness. Chris says he needs Novia and revenge, but he went to
find Burt's treasure instead. Are Chris's actions any less depraved than his
ancestral mobsters? Is Chris's confession just one big rationalisation, or
does Wolfe think Chris should get away with a light penance, as he did in
Coru?a? Clearly Wolfe watched the Sopranos, right?
