...feast of St. Patrick to March 15. March 17, as you know, falls on Holy Monday this year. Obviously, it would be a tragedy if the most cherished holiday of the Irish—first among all the nations of Christendom—were cancelled. St. Patrick did the Church a great service by bringing the Irish—the stalwart Irish, the high-minded Irish, the brave, the creative, the swarthy and attractive and fine-smelling Irish—into the fold...

He doesn’t just deliver sermons; he coaches basketball and befriends the students. But do his attempts to modernize and humanize the Church cross the line? When the youngest nun, Sister James (Madeleine Bennet ’08), reports that Donald Muller, the school’s only black student, returned from Father Flynn’s office acting oddly and with a hint of alcohol on his breath, Sister Aloysius immediately assumes...
