Is Daniel a pedophile priest?

I figured the end was referring to Communion, but that interpretation also works, especially with the early mention of 'carnal desires' (theoretically the younger man desiring a prostitute would also qualify and get him in trouble).

I'll just hope the Father was only speaking of Communion, then.

I’m biased towards pedophilia bc it was my own idea but I also think it tracks with making him a monster like the demon. He’s consumed an entire persons life with this horrible horrible action.

I think having carnal desires in quotes for emphasis also allows it to be a highlighted point of fact. Because it didn’t need to be in quotes. But now it’s like..okay what are the “carnal desires” and why were they enough not to get him kicked out of the clergy but excommunicated

I thought he literally ate someone

It sounds like his carnal desires that was in parenthesis for emphasis in the first part was actually more than just what we first would have thought was consensual sex between another adult. And that’s what the demon is referring to all throughout when he’s alluding to the fact that Daniel is also a monster

Oh that first part I got, I just thought the twist was that "carnal" meant he ate people instead of molesting kids. I mean both cases are monsters
