"Jocularity!" Posted on January 3, 2007 by Jane GoodwinJanuary 3, 2007 I hate it that Father Mulcahy went deaf. Oh, pardon me. . . . I hate it that Father Mulcahy became hearing impaired. He’s one of my favorite characters. Possibly I watch this show too much. Also, I hate euphemisms. They cheapen the language.
