In a Donna Leon, Inspector Brunetti novel, Paula and Guido are discusssing the insidious nature of the final unction - i.e. person dying, you can seek redemption by donating to a worthy cause, church gets richer. Guido says " Do you say such things to Chiara ? "
Paula " No Guido, I said I wouldn't interfere in the children's religious upbringing "
Guido " What if Chiara never discovers what we've been talking about ? "
Paula " Then, she will be much happier "
Scary, eh. Ignorance is "happiness " or contentment
