Hello there! Here is a story i had saved on my computer about the inspiring story of William Christopher. :)
Actor William Christopher is best known for playing the Catholic Priest, Father Mulcahy, in the acclaimed 1970s TV show MASH. The show was set in a mobile army hospital during the Korean War.
Christopher passed away on the last day of 2016. When I heard about his death it reminded me of a story I read in the book Craddock Stories about an episode of M*A*S*H that featured Father Mulcahy.
The episode was written by Jim Strain. In the episode Father Mulcahy becomes attracted to one of the nurses in the unit. The feeling is mutual and Father Mulcahy is sorely tempted to break his vow of chastity. The episode is about the struggle within Father Mulcahy to decide what to do. In the end he keeps his religious vows and stays true to his promise to God.
Strain had a difficult time selling this episode. The creators of the show loved the drama created by Father Mulcahy’s internal struggle, but they hated the ending. They asked him to change it to “make it more realistic.”
He asked them what would make it more realistic, and they responded, “He goes for the nurse! He disavows the priesthood! Don’t you understand what people want?”
Strain refused to change the script and the show finally relented and purchased it as it was written.
If you watch popular entertainment, listen to music, or watch the news you will likely come to the conclusion that Strain’s trouble selling a story about someone staying true to their values in spite of temptation is not an isolated incident. Popular culture and the news often seem intent on only showing us the negative side of human nature.
However, those of us living in the real world know that not everyone lies, cheats, and steals. People from all walks of life have their integrity tested every day and most of them make the difficult but correct choices.
The problem is not that these examples don’t exist, but that we so rarely hear about them. So, in an admittedly feeble attempt to balance the scales, here are five of my favorite stories about people who were tested, but who valued their integrity more than money.
Have a great day :)
