The letter writer describes Harry Nelson as a sinful man, guilty of the sin of adultery. Is this any help in identifying who wrote them?

No, just more confusion for me.

This made me think it was Father Hennessey who had written the letters.

I agree that it's Father Hennessey because he made reference to Nelson being Kate's father.

It has to be someone that knows about him being Kate's father. Who knows besides his team and I don't think any of them would be writing letters. Father Hennessey is a good bet but I don't remember if he knows about Kate's parentage.

I immediately thought of Father Hennessey.

Father Hennessy is the prime suspect here.

>5 Carol420: When Father Hennessey was speaking to Nelson he said something to him that meant he knew he was Kate's father.

But why would he mention Nelson as a sinner and/or adulterer when he isn't squeaky clean himself?
I'm probably wrong, (won't be the first time), but I can't see Father Hennessy wasting his time with poison-pen letters.

That's one reason why I didn't think about him being the one since he has an illegitimate daughter also. The pot and the kettle again.
