#NewAbelard
Courtesy of the Passion Play, Bradley is reconverted to Christianity. #NewAbelard
Bradley now washes up at Oberammergau, in time for the Passion Play. #NewAbelard

Bradley is being pursued by an American medium who thinks he looks just like her dead (nasty) boyfriend. #NewAbelard

While wandering around Europe, Alma falls in with a Catholic priest. #WhichIsAppropriate #NewAbelard
Alma and Bradley separate in search of redemption. #NewAbelard
Our narrator informs us that agnosticism & atheism are Bad. #TheAnvilStrikesAgain #NewAbelard
Bradley notices that his future in the afterlife will probably be in a location somewhat toastier than could be desired. #NewAbelard
