Tyler is a very devout Catholic, far more than Father Marko was at his age. That has caused Tyler’s natural attraction to other men to be far more painful, as well. Father Marko’s own unrestrained desires at Tyler’s age led him down a dark and dangerous path. It was only through the kindness and ministry of Father Michael—a priest with the wisdom to understand the needs of young men like himself—that Father Marko was saved, not just from perdition, but possibly a tragic fate here on Earth. It was Father Michael’s love and inspiration that led Father Marko to take vows as a priest. It was his own desire to help young men like Tyler that brought Father Marko to St. Paul’s Catholic School for Boys. Being on the staff gives him access to young men like Tyler who need an older wiser mentor to help deal with their raging young hormones and uncontrolled desires. Several times a week, Altar Boy Tyler assists Father Marko with Mass. After the altar has been put right and the sanctuary has been tidied up, Tyler reports to him in his study for penance and absolution. As dedicated to the faith as Tyler is, he cannot control his lust and requires constant supervision and correction. Their sessions begin with Altar Boy Tyler being spanked, as penance for his almost constant impure thoughts about any man close to him. Father Marko doesn't spank him hard. The Lord knows that Tyler can’t help his indiscretions; however, penance must be administered before absolution is earned. A dozen or so smacks of Father Marko’s bare hand against Tyler’s firm round ass, while he stands bent over the priest’s prayer bench is enough to suffice. Then Father Marko comforts him with kisses and the stroking of his fit young body, only to sooth the guilt and contrition that the boy feels for his uncleanliness. Father Marko ritually removes Tyler’s clothing to reveal his fit young body. Father Marko believes there is no greater symbol of God’s grace than a young man in the prime of innocent virility..
