For the people that are confused, the Entity that is penetrating the Priest is an evil Entity that taking advantage of the Priest's sorrow and remorse. It comes to him in the form of what he wants most, which is their world's version of God (Richie); but the Entity doesn't know that, hence why it asks the Priest what he sees it as. Our Priest is a Ex-soldier of what I am assuming is the losing Nation(his home Nation) in a war. He feels guilty for not being able to protect his wife and daughter, and for failing his country. Also great sorrow for there being a war to begin with that caused so much death. As a prisoner(I assume because he was a soldier in the losing Nation) he allows(this is bad wording but I can't think of a different way)the warden to rape him in exchange of freedom. Our Priest flees and falls exhausted somewhere. The Father of a church rescues him and gives him sanctuary. Our Priest stays and looks up to the Father helping however he can. Anytime military men come looking for runaways/escapees Father hides our Priest; this happens a few times until a soldier misfires and kills the Father. So now on top of feeling guilty for the war, (in his mind) no longer being clean bc he was defiled by another man he now feels guilt over the death of the Father. During his time at the Church a young Orphan that low-key hated him in his youth comes around eventually loves and lusts after our Priest. After some time our Priest doesn't want to live anymore and is about to commit suicide when E.E.(Evil Entity) intervines and starts manipulating the Priest saying that it loves him with all his flaws. That being intimate with E.E he will be cleansed and reborn to be like E.E.; that how E.E. showed him how to "cleanse" himself he should go out and share the way to the "path of light". Eventually the Priest does invite the now older Orphan to visit him after several debauched nights to show him the "path of light"
