| abstract | - It seems the only explanation for how someone so utterly unqualified could have become a priest: his mother threatened to go to the papers, and to avoid a scandal young Dougal was fast tracked through the seminary. I'm about 50/50 on the chances that Bishop Brennan is Dougal's real father.
* Do the words "You address me by my proper title, you little bollocks!" ring any bells?
* No such luck - the proper title for a bishop in Ireland is "Your Grace".
* I dunno, he did state in Grant Unto Him Eternal Rest that both his parents were dead. Of course, this is Dougal we're talking about.
* Or maybe his mother kept the truth from him and claimed that his father was dead.
* Or maybe Ted is his real father, he does act like a father to him, lampshaded in The Old Grey Whistle Theft. And Ted's real father is Jack!
* And Mrs Doyle could be Dougal's mother. She certainly treats him like a child (she even bathes him), and Ted seems very jealous when Pat Mustard steals Mrs Doyle's heart... One big happy family.
