Scholar John O’Donohue recalls a story his father told about a neighbor friendly with the local priest. There is a whole mythology in Ireland about druids and priests having special power.

When we’re young it’s understandable to learn such things at a child’s level, and sometimes children themselves seem to filter out the scary or bad parts; perhaps this is how God protects them. As we grow up we learn this protection no longer serves us, and that yes, bad things can happen to good people.
