The Yank says, "It’s the widow's field; she can sell it to whom she likes. It’s the law, the common law."
Bull replies, "There’s another law stronger than the common law, boy."
The Yank asks, "And what’s that?"
Bull aggressively proclaims "The law of the Land!! ..."
At this, Father Chris Doran stands up and angrily interrupts Bull.
"You may be referring to the Brehon Laws or some more ancient law, but you are in my house now, and you will listen to what I have to say." As he calms down, he continues, "When Jesus was being tested in the temple, he said there is only one law, and that is the Law of God."
The Bull and The Yank looked at each other and asked in unison "What's that, Father?"
The priest replied, "Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind; and love your neighbour as yourself."
