But interlarded with this central stuff are a chorus of sombre monks and another of wailing women who at one point rival 'the witches of "Macbeth' in their catalogue of the disgusting; paeans of religious fervor including an intellectual indictment of atheism; and, most daringly ingenious...

Tycoon Brady, who confessed his sins in his last years to a bishop, his friend the Most Rev. John Gregory Murray (now Archbishop of St. Paul), was a trusted lay adviser to the Church, became the second U. S. Catholic named Papal Chamberlain and was made a Papal Duke in 1926, by which time he had given the Vatican more than...
