Father Good ancestors must have been Protestant in origin and he displays as do many from that background a resolute independence of spirit. Good is a common name in the Bandon area. Lucey was the dominant church figure in Cork in the mid 20th century and rules with an iron fist. He built a chain of ‘Rosary Churches’ around the city. He had studied Social Policy in Austria in the 1930s and his pronouncements condemning Government inaction on the part of small farmers in West Cork received widespread attention.
Before Father Good was silenced he was also a priest in the Lough Church, Cork, and hoards of women attended his confessions every Saturday evening.
Later Bishop Lucy after he retired joined him in the Kenyan Desert and served under Father Good.
