Roman Catholic Father Malachy Mulligan was summoned from his monastery to an Edinburgh parish to teach a slipshod congregation how to chant plain song. Across the street from the church were two grievous eyesores: a Church of England edifice placarded with snappy ads for religion, and the Garden of Eden dance hall.
