"there are believers who are good at sex"... What???

this might be a spoiler and i only found this from the comments, but looks like the priest was so desperate for the girl, was because she was the reincarnation of the said saintess, which is the priest's reincarnation's lover. basically, the past priest (before now) was the lover of the past saintess (who's the girl now).
Thank you for the update!! Your translation work is amazing!!
