That was not

Since they
had the duty of confessing their sins to the priest, they decided to invent a
coded word that they could use when making their confession. They resolved that
anyone who committed adultery would say that he had ‘fallen’. Weeks later, the priest seems satisfied that his members
were no longer confessing to committing adultery and things went on well. When
the Priest died at the age of 70, another priest was posted to the church to
replace him.
