I was glad to learn that Mary Magdalene's penitent side was not the main attraction here. In one scene, a penitent missus in a shapeless tube dress scratches her head and admits to having crashed the car. She still saw the dress of the penitent who was at the confessional near the entrance. But if she began to cry, then Harry had the worst of it, and was as penitent as any good child. Still, that might not do it: not every believer, or even all members of the penitent, will be taken. Macdonald's always the first one to go up to the penitent bench. His admonition last week to the Irish church repeatedly emphasised that heaven still awaits the penitent pedophile priest. He would later say about his subway pictures that they were made in the “hands of a penitent spy and an apologetic voyeur.” The praying of this petition presupposes a penitent state of heart. It only needed a beginning, and the penitent bench would be crowded.
