I wouldn’t have read it as innuendo if others hadn’t mentioned it. Clearly I’m not as dirty-minded as some people.
As far as alternatives go, the only synonyms I can think of are vicarage and parsonage, but I’m pretty sure those are more Anglican than Catholic. I don’t think it’s necessary to change it, though. If people get amusement by reading it as a double entendre, let them; the meaning is clear whether you do or don’t. (I didn’t know exactly what a rectory was before today, just that it was a structure associated with a church, but that’s all you really *need* to know to understand the dialogue.)
Wouldn’t it be cool if Christler came out with a “Rectory”, a car designed for errant priests, like the Lincon is apparently designed for roving lawyers?
The innuendo joke is so overtly obvious that I don’t know how to mention it, except the way that I just did.
It was so obvious, I nearly missed it because I couldn’t believe it was meant the way it sounded … until I said it out loud. Then I could only groan.
It’s all in your own minds… because I wasn’t in The Author’s. I’m open to suggestions for alternate vocabulary.

I agree with Wyvern… as usual.
’round here, we use “Presbitory”.
For the big decrepit building next to seldom open Catholic chuch, because we have few goers and a single priest for every three parishes.
… I think they live in thier cars.
“I think they live in their cars”! Congratualations, theReader.

Someone has become a little spoiled during his time underground. Despite appearances, Napoleon was not a short man compared to his contemporaries.
The hat would make him taller. Napoleon too.
For a place without any noticable weather, he cares a lot about what’s on his head.
We care because we care. We’re caring people, Frank 😉
“We”? Were you a part of this colony once long ago?
“We”? Oui!
Heh.
Heh.
When you have a rock ceiling above your head, all kind of things may drop from there: Spiders, pebbles, bat droppings
You mean “Pterosaur Droppings”, right?
Yes, I would choose to wear a hardhat, titanium mesh clothing and an aqualung.
“Drowned in the droppings of a flock of pterosaurs” is in my bottom ten list of “Things I want written on my tombstone”.
It’s a twofer, theReader.
