Come! Confess! Started by: SaintAnthony on Nov 04, '15 05:20
SaintAnthony walks to the middle of the streets holding a milk crate in one hand and his staff in his other. SaintAnthony shoves his staff into the ground and a trumpet rings out from the heavens before SaintAnthony places the crate on the ground and steps atop it. As the crowd gathers at the sound of the trumpets SaintAnthony begins to speak.. 

You are all sinners! That's correct, sinners! Each of you. 

Every day you make your profits from taking advantage of the weak, the meek, the innocent. Do you repent if your sins? Do you care that this whole world, these streets, they're all corrupt and going to hell!? SaintAnthony takes a moment to look upon the crowd amd gather his thoughts. I'm sorry, my passion for your realization of your sins have over shadowed why I'm here. Allow me to introduce myself to those whom do not know. I am SaintAnthony of the Church of Fallen Angels. You may have seen my face around these streets, but yet I've seen none of you within my church to repent of the sins you commit so blatantly. You see, those of you have seen me stalking around these streets, or seen me outside of my church greeting passerbys fail to understand what I'm here for. I do not wish to change or look down upon you. No, no my breathern, I am one of you. If you would take time from your day killing, robbing, drug running and pay attention to the sign that hangs upon my church you would see that it reads "Church of the Fallen Angels". 

SaintAnthony points to the church sign three buildings down.

So at last my brethren I come to my point. I come to these dirty, crime ridden streets to ask not for your confession of sin, but of your good deeds. These things are that which we at the church of Fallen Angels wish to drive out of these streets! So I ask each of you to come to me, here in front of all and confess all of your good deeds so that thou may be cleansed and walk among your fellow mafioso in good conscience. Remember, you are all sinners, and so am I! 

Now come to me and confess your good deeds so that you shall be righted! 

SaintAnthony steps down from his crate and motions for the first member of the crowd to come forth and confess.

A glum Ullr walked into the cathedral, with his hood lowered to the neck. He knew of confession, not much of how it was performed. Odin, the all-father, would not be pleased with what Ullr was about to do.. But for the sake of his conscious he had too..

Approaching the confession box, Ullr stopped and sighed before going in...

The priest acknowledged him... murmuring something about speaking of his good deeds...

"Father, I have.. as you say.. sinned many times, and so has my father, and my father's-fathers before him.. You ask not of my sins, but of our good deeds.. so here it goes."

With a bold breathe, and a long drawn out pause, Ullr confessed.

"My father was a great man, when he passed.. many men and women came to his funeral and wished for him to rest easy, but why? In his life, many judged him for his time spent among these shores as a narcissist, other than loving and caring as they suggested at his funeral. In his life, he acquired a vast fortune... In the 100's of millions... but along the way, he donated 80% to 90% of it away to his loved ones. Looking back on the life of my father, that may have been his only good deed. As for me, my blood is still young, I dream of making my mark. Perhaps I will, who knows. But if I can take one thing away from the deeds that were performed by my father and I, it is that no matter what you do in your life along these shores.. One day we will all be sleeping with the fishes."

With that, Ullr jumped up, pulled up his hood, and sprinted out the doors of the cathedral..

The only thing he could think of, was how could he right his fathers wrongs?...

As Frenchy walks into the Church of Fallen Angels he thinks of all the things he's done since joining the Mafia in his father's footsteps. He had done some things that most would see as evil, and also some things that, from what he's heard, this church would find despicable. He hadn't been to a church since his father's death. He has always avoided churches. They made him think of all the things he, and the two generations before him, had done for the Mafia, or maybe they had done it for themselves. It was hard to tell anymore. There was such a thin line between would they did at of pleasure and what they did for the family that they'd began to become all the same.

As he neared the confession booth he started to have second thoughts. It seemed so twisted to confess for the "good" deeds he had done when there was so many "bad" ones. He tried to block out of his mind and walked into the booth. He sat down and waited for the priest to speak first.

Greetings, my name is Father Jimmy. What good deeds would you like to confess to the Godfather today.

Frenchy looked down and almost chuckled. He couldn't believe he was about to do his first confession in a church ran by the Mafia. He shook his head, took a breath, and started his confessional.

Father, I haven't been here long. In the Mafia, New York, hell even on the world. I'm still young, and I still have a lot to learn. My father taught me to be an honest, stand-up guy. He also told me that "A gun is your best friend in the way that, if someone fucks with you, it'll always have your back".

 He paused for a moment as to make sure he was aloud to cuss. It was church after all; even though it was run by mafiosos. He didn't seem to make any objections, so Frenchy continued on.

I came into the Mafia as just a kid, and I know I haven't been here long, but I think I've grown a lot. Killing and robbing is't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It's the balance of life. For every 10 law-biding citizens, there must be a man willing to break any law in his way to reach his destiny. Whether that destiny is to be rich, own the greatest gun in the country, make Godfather, or even just earn respect.

In the time I've been here, I've given people money, backed off of kills because someone needed it more, I've supported people from other crews. While doing all these "good" deeds, I've also killed, pick-pocketed, broke people out of jail, and even been involved in some organized crimes. Maybe they balance each other out, maybe I'm a terrible person. Maybe I'm even a good one, but however you look at it, one thing I do know is that I've reached the point where I'll do anything and not have remorse.

Before I heard of this church, I believed myself to be evil, I had lost faith in the Lord. Because if he is real, why would he want me? I had given up on myself as being anything more than an embodiment of all that is wrong, but maybe I was too harsh on myself. Looking at this church I see now that there isn't a true definition of "good" or "bad". It's all in people's heads. Their perspectives and where they come from creates their morals on such subjects. Most people would call me a terrible person, but I'm glad that I've finally found a place where I can be at ease, and know, or at least believe, that I am a good person. That place is the Mafia, and it's where I'll be until the day I die.

Frenchy stood up and began to walk out. While he had his hand on the doorknob he heard the priest start to say something.

That was beautiful kid. Please stop by again some time. We have sermons every week Sunday morning. I think you'd be a good match for our church.

Frenchy opened the door and felt light hit his face. For the first time he looked around the room. He saw many people that he knew. A couple of them were seeming to not want to be seen, but most of them were conversing among each other. All of these people were in the Mafia. There were some big names, and some small names. Right then he made up his mind.

Every Sunday after that day he went to the church. It was the only place where he felt comfortable. No one judged him, the welcomed him with open arms. Something that he had never experienced at church before.
