...except Father Mulcahy doesn't know who Dean Thomas Cardinal Lawrence is. Safe to do so, then. "Thomas calls it that because he finds it bewildering and irritating. He hates using it."

He'd still be using a flip phone if he could. "Again, can't say I really blame him. It's a useful tool, but it can be overwhelming."
