...high school connected with a prizefight? The answer goes back to 1968, when San Antonio's parochial schools were in deep financial trouble -like others across the U.S.-and Archbishop Robert Lucey halted all diocesan subsidies for three of the city's twelve Catholic high schools. One of the three schools was located in a wealthy white neighborhood, and it easily survived by raising tuition. Another, situated in a lower-middle-class area, gave up and closed its doors. It is now a warehouse...
...such an event is one of the illustrations in Alan Moorehead's book. Depicted as a drab civilian among the scarlet naval persons present, the ship's naturalist, Charles Darwin, also clutches a Bible. The Beagle's Bibles contained an annotation dictated by the Anglican Archbishop Ussher, firmly stating that the Creation began promptly at 9 a.m., Oct. 23, 4004 B.C.

Finally an armed color guard marched in. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen gave the sermon in which he called for a return to "asceticism" as the way to peace...
...panels of this darkly glowing work depict episodes in the life of Thomas à Becket, together with scenes from the Passion of Christ and the life of the Virgin, achieving a peak of dramatic intensity hitherto unrealized in North German painting. In The Martyrdom of St. Thomas, the kneeling archbishop half turns toward his attackers. Blood streams down his forehead and splashes onto his white cassock; his miter rolls away across the tile floor. The decorative flatness of Thomas' cope and the star-spangled, scarlet sky are in striking contrast to the bold modeling of his face...
