Abbe Mouret, M. Zola's hero, finds himself placed between the law of the
Divinity and the law of Nature: and the struggle waged within him by
those two forces is a terrible one. That which training has implanted in
his mind proves the stronger, and, so far as the canons of the Church
can warrant it, he saves his soul. But the problem is not quite frankly
put by M. Zola; for if Abbe Mouret transgresses he does so unwittingly,
at a time when he is unconscious of his priesthood and has no memory of
any vow. When the truth flashes upon him he is horrified with himself,
and forthwith returns to the Church.
