...many ways, this was one of the most unpleasant and nerve-racking meetings in the 177-year history of the house. Although the bishops faced a heavy agenda, all other business was overshadowed by discussion of the heresy charges against Pike, raised by South Florida's Henry Louttit and subscribed to by more than 30 other prelates.
