Quandary Resolution 740
daltonism, sanctimonious, vulnerary, pecuniary
In decades of sanctimonious preaching against the vice of greed, Father Mann became privately obsessed with money, and he developed a daltonic worldview, in which he did not distinguish pecuniary health from physical health, confusing the importance of green cash with his own red blood, and thinking of money as a vulnerary substance that could cure both physical and spiritual wounds.
