The siblings' deaths clear the field down to Barry and the seminarian brother

texture · Y.T.M.P. (2003) and shortly after

• When: the eldest Loach de-mapped in Y.T.M.P. (2003); the second brother's death "within weeks of the wake"
• What: The eldest Loach boy, after a two-year U.S.N. bit, is de-mapped early in the Brazilian O.N.A.N./U.N. joint action; within weeks the next-oldest dies of the tainted-grouper poisoning. With the other siblings variously out of the running for the clergy, hopes narrow to one older brother and Barry — and the older brother's genuine, big-hearted turn toward a Jesuit calling lifts the priesthood-weight off Barry, freeing him to pursue Training at Boston College.
