...neighborhood tomcat we privately nicknamed "Mayor Hague" because he bossed all the other cats-and my mother's horror when my four-year-old brother called the cat just that in the crowded butcher's store. Politics seems even to be mixed with my memories of St. Aloysius Church: the smell of dust and sin in the confessional, of candles and innocence at Sunday Mass. Did the knowledge that my father and his father before him (it ran in families) were not favored at city hall carry over into a feeling of unworthiness before the Lord...

...rebel from his student days at New York's General Theological Seminary, Shipler spent a lifetime being for or against virtually every cause that crossed his ken; he supported voluntary euthanasia and liberal divorce laws, feuded with the Roman Catholic Church by stating that Yugoslavia's Archbishop Aloysius Stepinac was a "quisling collaborator of Hitler." Indeed, after World War II, The Churchman was accused of leaning so far left that in 1948 George C. Marshall felt compelled to refuse its Good Will Award...
