Sofi's wonderful work again. Thank you!!!
I think Father Karras is a man whose faith is beginning to crumble. He has a great deal of guilt concerning the circumstances of his mother's death since he chose to be a priest instead of supporting his family. I think he is finally on the edge of despair. His foundation is no longer there, the Church has changed. The most difficult part about playing this character, that I can see now, is to remember that he is a human being first and a priest second. You can always play the priest, but it is finding that particular human being who happens to be the priest that is important. Otherwise, you have The Bells of St. Mary's. It's too easy to play priests as perfect. You have to see beyond their broad outlines and find the less appealing qualities that provide humanity.
