   The local parish priest is away on holiday. In his place there is a relief priest. The relief priest is quite... unusual. He is fairly young, is a heavy metal fan, and wears a cut-off denim jacket with rock band patches. He seems to favour a patchouli oil scent.

   He calls himself the "Judas Priest". 😃

     This isn't a joke. All absolutely true. It's the sort of thing that just happens in our local community.

     I'm *almost* tempted to attend the Mass on Sunday.

     PS
     I forgot to check whether he had a Black Sabbath patch. 😃

     If I meet him again, I will attempt to get a photo. This *has* to be recorded for posterity.

     I met the "Heavy Metal Priest" again, last night. He very kindly agreed to pose for a couple of photos. I said I would post the photos without names or pack drill.

     We had a lovely chat, mostly about music, and then mostly about symphonic metal. We managed to swap the names of new bands that the other hadn't encountered yet.

     HMP is only here for a few more days. He then returns to his usual parish. I wish him well. Godspeed.

     Lovely guy. We had an interesting chat. We never spoke about religion. 😃
