Your entire body exudes an aura of sincerity and honesty. Such virtues
you aspire to I dare not even attempt to perceive their lofty heights.
You uphold honour, righteousness, you protect the weak and you demonstrate
your matership of humility by turning the cheek against those that are
ignorant and unenlightened.

That is no doubt what new inductees to the church expect their leader
is going to be like. I do feel sorry for them when they eventually realise
what they do have is an arrogant, self-centred, pious, deceitful and
manipulative pretender who is too lazy to even get off his own thrown
and set an example to his underlings. It amuses me even more to see the
church turn a blind eye to this because they have the good sense to
realise that someone like you is their only hope against the superior
dark side. Fight fire with fire! I consider you a peer, Isildur, one of
a kind, and in some ways I envy you as your people need and respect you.

But do the world a favour... drop the pretense. It only adds more weight
to the deceitful part of my observation.
