He wore cowboy hats with brims that were wide, and cowboy boots with toes that were narrow, and his congregation couldn't refuse him a thing. When he asked for money, they gave him money-for a choir loft that went up & down like the stage at Radio City Music Hall, for an electric Escalator that lifted worshipers up to a raised altar.

As Cardinal Innitzer stood ready for the presentation of mitre, crozier and gloves, Monsignor Jachym broke into the ceremony with a dramatic announcement, first in Latin, then in German. "After meditating through the entire night," he proclaimed, "I do not feel able to undertake the bishop's office. You will, as priests, understand-I feel not worthy enough."
