As he seems to have some interesting powers, perhaps he was displaying these things as a kid and the parents couldn't handle it. As a kid, he wouldn't have had the control he has over them as an adult. I often think that's why Sister Mary made him call her Sister Mary and not Mom like she did the other kid-Mary saw it…

"As much as I appreciated how the show didn’t make too big a deal about the Lennon appearance, I wish Bruce hadn’t described so explicitly that the ex-Beatle was on his Lost Weekend with May Pang. It would have been more artful and effective for viewers to figure it out on their own."

Using his crush on her to bump up her esteem yet again. She's awful
