"First Lieutenant (later Captain) John Francis Patrick Mulcahy S.J., more commonly called Father Mulcahy, is a fictional principal character from the 1970 Robert Altman film M*A*S*H, played by Ren\u00E9 Auberjonois, and the television series, played by William Christopher. He was played by George Morgan in the pilot episode of the television series, but the producers decided that a quirkier individual was needed for the role, and Christopher was cast in his place: Season 1 Episode 3 Requiem for a Lightweight. Father Mulcahy's name was changed from John Patrick Francis Mulcahy to Francis John Patrick Mulcahy (as he revealed in episode 7 of Season 8 when asked by a nurse he was counseling). Either form of the name is an attempt to reconcile his identification as \"Father John P. Mulcahy\" in the pilot episode with the name \"Francis Mulcahy\" established later on. One goof in the series shows Mulcahy rising to the rank of Captain; according to the US Army Almanac {1959} .p.149 the rank of Captain from 1st Lt comes after 7 years service! Mulcahy presumably is in the service for 3 years would still have been a 1st LT! Mulcahy at times has a holier than thou attitude-at no time does he seem shocked at the antics of martial hypocrisy of Henry Blake; Frank Burns or Trapper John and does nothing at all! However, unlike the doctors, he cannot see the end result of his work, and often worries about whether he's doing any real good."@en . . "Father John Patrick Francis Mulcahy"@en .
