A conversation at lunch.
[Friar mentions a prayer group of friars' mothers in his home province called 'The Daughters of Padre Pio.']
Friar 1: That's very interesting. Being the mother of a friar makes you become a daughter of Padre Pio.
Friar 2: Well, the other day Cardinal O'Malley reiterated that a friar who has a child has to leave to be a father and fulfill his obligations to the child and mother. [So what of Padre Pio and his daughters?]
Friar 1: Well Padre Pio already left the Order.
Friar 2: ?
Friar 1: Well in the friar database [which is kept here in the General Curia] one of the fields is 'way of leaving.' [modo di uscita] And one of the choices [for filling the field] is death.
