Oh man, this brings back memories of the Christian school I went to...it was generally very nice, the teachers were lovely, but they were SO PEDANTIC about dating! If any boy/girl sat together too many times in one class, they got called to the principal to have "the talk" as people called it about how they need to respect themselves and God and not have a relationship until they leave school. One couple who were in their last year, both 18, were engaged and weren't allowed to sit together at lunch in case they provided a bad example xD If a boy and girl sat on the couch too closely (ie touching) they would be asked to move apart. It was really funny xP
That would be a family matter. That's different. (Though, there is no pleasing him, so he'd probably sneer at that too.)
As far as Father Quenton is concerned though, holding hands and hugging is just a slippery slope to getting her pregnant before they're married; in fact, holding hands may be ENOUGH to impregnate her. Dang teenagers and their dang hormones!
Seriously. People still think like this. It's kinda scary...
Oh my goodness. If the Father has issue with this, he will have a conniption fit when he finds out about fallout: Old World Blues and the main character's hand penises (fingers) and any filthy skin...excreting.
