...classes from Chicago universities, readily telling students of the messages and visions he experienced. Last week "Padre" Abbate was installed once more, surrounded by men and women in monastic robes, in a three-story house containing his church and living quarters. He posed for photographers, wearing vestments resembling a bishop's and a mitre bearing cabalistic words, with one of his tonsured "monks" by his side. He held services for his people, giving them "the sacraments," for, as his housekeeper explained, "we are really a Roman Catholic church although we are not under the Pope." But when the press...
