What inner conflict does Father Tim overcome in the novel, These High, Green Hills?

Father Tim tells Cynthia that he entered the ministry because of unresolved conflicts with his harsh and proud father. Since boyhood, he has been dogged by the feeling that he could never please his father or do anything right. Father Tim's ministry has allowed him to help others overcome those same conflicts, but he has never overcome his own self-doubts. Marriage to Cynthia, however, gives him the strength to put those conflicts behind him.
