...with so-called renewal." The son of Polish immigrants in Cleveland, he was a food-store manager, first became interested in the priesthood when he was troubled by his inability to defend the church against the barbs of a Protestant friend. Krol has spent most of his career in canon law classrooms and chancery offices. In a rapid climb of the priestly pyramid, he was ordained at the age of 26, became auxiliary bishop of the Cleveland diocese at 42 and Archbishop of Philadelphia at 50. Now 61, he is healthy and hardworking, yet enjoys relaxing in the sprawling Archdiocesan...

But he has been guilty of certain venial sins, among them boozy sentimentality and the use of overfamiliar stock characters. In Bogdanovich's eyes every blemish is a virtue, and no detail is too trivial to examine. He traces, for example, the history of a gesture first used...
...record reaches back past the Joseph McCarthy era to Sacco and Vanzetti, the Palmer raids, the Wobblies, and the Haymarket trial of 1887. There is also the ambiguous case of the Utah Mormons, who were persecuted in the late 19th century for the "crime" of practicing polygamy, then a canon of their faith. In a certain sense, those Latter-day Saints arrested for refusing to divorce their several wives could be regarded as "political" prisoners...
