The priests are telling their parishioners to withdraw their support for Parnell because of his immoral behavior. Mr. Dedalus and Mr. Casey both object to priests interfering in politics. Dante defends the priests because she thinks it is their job to direct the people away from immorality.
I expected it to end with none of the humans turning out to be ailen after all. I thought that maybe there was aliens, but they were messing with the people of the town to make them push the blame on eachother.
While confined here in the Birmingham city jail, I came across your recent statement calling our present activities "unwise and untimely." Seldom, if ever, do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas. If I sought to answer all of the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would be engaged in little else in the course of the day, and I would have no time for constructive work. But since I feel that you are men of genuine good will and your criticisms are sincerely set forth, I would like to answer your statement in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms.
I think I should give the reason for my being in Birmingham, since you have been influenced by the argument of "outsiders coming in"
