The Pillars of the Earth

Remigius and Ellen in “The Work of Angels”

Remigius

I was in love once. Love is a terrible thing. I know, it struck me dead.

Ellen

Did she die?

Remigius

He hanged himself. And I found him. I loved him and he loved me. How could it be a sin? But I confessed and my confessor made me denounce him to the others. And after he took his life, my confessor made me fix things so that I would never be able to sin like that again.

Ellen

Is your confessor still alive?

Remigius

Oh yes.

Ellen

You should denounce him to the Church.

Remigius

He is the Church.
