In his memoir, BLESSINGS IN DISGUISE, Alec Guinness speaks of his conversion to Catholicism. His hostility to the Church began to melt away once when he played a priest in a movie being filmed in Burgundy. At the end of a day's shooting, still in costume, he was walking back to his quarters when a small boy greeted him as "mon pere," seized his hand, and walked with him, chattering happily until their paths parted. Then the boy bowed slightly, saying, "Bonsoir, mon pere," and darting through a hedge. Guinness was impressed by "a Church which could inspire such confidence in a child, making its priests, even when unknown, so easily approachable."
