After the villagers pay their respect to Teofilo,

they bury him in a non-Christian ceremony

Father Paul comes and buries him

they burn him in a funeral pyre

he is placed in a structure of sticks and leaves in a tree

do not respect the Catholic religion

are afraid he will steal the body

have had bad experiences in Catholic schools

Father Paul is upset because...

he was not allowed to administer the last rites

the natives did not pay the Catholic church for the funeral

it starts to rain just as he begins to sprinkle holy water

his holy water gets spilled into the dirt and disappears

Louise wants Father Paul to sprinkle holy water over Teofilo's body so...

not report Ken and Leon to the police

should now be buried in the Catholic churchyard

Father Paul finally accepts that...

ancient traditional rites and religion must co-exist
