Shadow of the Wind p. 200-225

The priest continues to orate Jorge Aldaya an Julian Carax's friendship, beginning at their childhood to Daniel and Fermin. We learn that Jorge and Julian share a complex friendship- a friendship based on intellect and wit. Then The priest talks about Miquel, whom was allegedly marries to Nuria, and is in jail for protesting. Miquel , like Julian, had a life altered/conjured up of memories from his mother. Also, like Daniel Miquel's mother passed away at a young age, but unlike Daniel he saw life through a Gothic/ death perspective. In addition we lean that Fermins arch nemesis inspector Javier Fumero was a good friend of Julian. As a child Fumero was detrimental and psycho to all life forms, killing birds, and spectating grotesque corpses. after consulting with the priest, Daniel and Fermin discover that one possible culprit is the inspector himself, driven by jealousy because Julian took his unconfined love, Penelope, away from him. Late Daniel meats up with Bea and they arrange another spontaneously planned date?

Do you think the priest was lying?

i doubt that the priest was lying; i think he may have been the most honest and like Fermin said, not necessarily lying, just omitting stuff.
