This foul woman sums up all that is wrong with religion as
an outdated and controlling force in the world. She is in
'communication' with her imaginary friend(s) 'above' so stuff
anyone actually alive and in need of solace, here in the real
world. Ugh. Her smug belief is a total display of misplaced
fanaticism, that in 'other' beliefs, are constantly reviled in the
media.”
Oh for goodness sake. I'm not in the least religious but to read that much into it is ridiculous.
She's forthright and may come across as selfish but to pin that on her religion is very silly. If she is a practising priest then she has probably supported a good number of bereavements, grieving people, sick and dying people, and she may even have been in hospitals to baptize premature and dying babies.
So get educated about how the clergy deal with actual solace and supporting others before mouthing off.
I also noted that the two shots of Graham 'looking stunned' were cut close-ups and therefore not guaranteed to be a reaction to what she said.
The comment about remarrying seemed quite tongue-in-cheek, to me in any case.
