If that word was made flesh, I'd punch it.

JOKE-OGRAPHY:
1. The priest, Fr. Mark, is giving a homily during Laetare Sunday (the fourth Sunday of Lent, and a day when priests wear rose-colored vestments). He notes that, in the first reading, the infidelity of the people of Judah seems infinite, and it defiles their places of worship, and it continues indefinitely. Because the words "infidelity," "infinite," "defile," and "indefinitely" share many letters and sounds, Fr. Mark starts combining the words together to make hip new words which contain all of their meanings at once. The evolution of this new word goes thuswise and whenceforth:
1a. INFIDELITY (in-fi-del-i-ty): unfaithfulness.
1b. INFINIDELITY (in-fin-i-del-i-ty): infinite unfaithfulness.
1c. INFINIDEFIDELITY (in-fin-i-def-i-del-i-ty): infinite unfaithfulness which defiles.
1d. INDEFINFINIDEFIDELITY (in-def-in-fin-i-def-i-del-i-ty): infinite unfaithfulness which defiles and continues indefinitely. Indef(inite) + infini(te) + defi(le) + (infi)delity.
2. Once the ultimate form of the priest's new word is complete and the heroes can no longer stop it's godless birth, one of the parishioners declares that he feels God in the priest's word. Is this out of genuine religious ecstasy, or out of fear that the new word will destroy everyone who resisted it when it gains sentience? That, I leave for the scholars to decide.
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
This is yet another "Tomics Resurrection," where I've taken an old cartoon and, much like the priest, remade it with all the hubris I can muster. The old cartoon only combined "indefinite," "infinite," and "infidelity." In this new version, I added "defile" to the mix, because that's also in the verse, and contains several of the same letters as the rest of the victims of my chimeric abomination. Ironic, isn't it? That I would defile the English language further than ever by using that very word. But I'm a scientist, after all. The opportunity was there, so I took it, even if it was taboo. I can almost hear it murmuring, "Ed...ward?"

I think all attractive middle aged men fit in this diagram
This is what I have so far. I quickly realized no man will ever dethrone Cate Blanchett as Daddy. Ultimate Slut is still up for debate.
