Cold, underfed, Elizabeth made no complaint but prayed in their dungeon while in the next room hard-bitten sailors cursed...
...lately-deceased Catholics who might fit Father Feeney's specifications, and whose friends could be counted upon to push their saintly causes, the best known would be Wartime Chaplain Rev. Francis P. Duffy, Poet Joyce Kilmer (Trees) and Football Coach Knute Rockne. All are known to have lived impeccable Catholic lives; two met violent deaths.
