#and im glad he chose priesthood and God at the end

Fleabag is soo freaking good. I genuinely enjoyed it sm. However, I found the infamous 'hot priest' kneel scene extremely weird and almost uncomfortable. I've never disclosed this on here but I myself am catholic so the undertones of that whole scene made me extremely uneasy. The confessional is a way to express one's sins, fears, and asking God for forgiveness, all in a very vulnerable setting. So the fact that this priest took advantage of her at her most vulnerable state by literally telling her to kneel (which we all know what that poses, which didn't even cross my mind when it happened btw until he bowed down to kiss her) and then proceeded to make out at the church, while she was crying still. It all seems very predatory? for the lack of a better word. We know that Fleabag had been wanting him for a long time so it wasn't necessarily unwanted? but she wasn't there for that, she genuinely wanted advice and priests are supposed to give said advice and become confidants in that sense. The Priest, however, completely breached his duties and made her question herself after.

Idk it's weird to me. And before yall come for me and say that that's the point, I know it is but I believe their first kiss could've gone another route and not make him seem all predatory like that. IDK. but i did not find the scene 'hot' at all.
