...wait till the morning. First we went to an all-night gas station and asked if we could stay there, but the attendant kicked us out, saying there was "some kind of monastery or something" up the road a bit. The monastery turned out to be a seminary for Jesuit priests and when we rang the doorbell at 12:30 in the morning I was sure--visions of medieval churches offering sanctuary to knights errant--we'd found a place to stay. But the priest who answered the door said he would have to ask his boss--the priest...
Wendt's defense was led by Lawyer and Lay Theologian William Stringfellow, who harbored Daniel Berrigan in 1970 when the Jesuit was a fugitive from the FBI. Stringfellow was interested in pursuing what he felt was a vindicating factor in Wendt's action-the validity of the women's ordinations. The national head of the church, Presiding Bishop John M. Allin, who was subpoenaed for the defense, refused to appear; as a result, at week's end he was cited for contempt by the five-judge ecclesiastical court.

"You just can't get everything without pain and suffering or without having to pay a price. There is no such thing as a free ride anywhere...
Break a Shell.

The intimate, unguarded diary, which fleshes out the previously released wartime essays and letters to his cousin, will be essential reading for Teilhard aficionados...
...shocking film, and thus notorious, he is offered a teaching post at one of Manhattan's melting-pot universities (in 1972 Burgess lectured at the City College of New York). In Enderby's case, the film is no Clockwork Orange but a salacious travesty of Jesuit Gerard Manley Hopkins' poem The Wreck of the Deutschland...
