...went against the Geneva Convention, but not against his own nature. Pat Buchanan and I had known Father McGonigal at Gonzaga College High School in Washington, D.C., in the mid-'50s, when McGonigal was the prefect of discipline there. McGonigal looked like a fire hydrant cased in a black cassock--short and squat, with iron muscle bulges. He radiated punitive rage. One morning he hammered a boy to the classroom floor with his fists and left him there with a concussion, the other boys too terrified to intervene. The Jesuits shipped McGonigal off to southern Maryland, to listen...

"We were just something new," says Father James Madden, explaining the appeal of the new order. The order came to Boston in the 1870s, and moved to Cambridge...
...anti-apartheid protest swelled, the black South African churchman who helped inspire it took possession of the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize. Clad in a red cassock and wearing a gold pectoral cross, South African Anglican Bishop Desmond Tutu accepted the Nobel committee's $181,000 cash award and 7.2-oz. gold medal in Norway's University of Oslo Aula. Shortly before the ceremony, Tutu, who a week earlier had declared in Washington that U.S. policy toward South Africa was "immoral, evil and totally un-Christian," was forced along with other dignitaries to evacuate the Oslo hall...
