Last week as Catholic schools were opening for the year, many a Catholic teacher was scandalized to hear orthodox religious education roundly and rudely excoriated, flayed not by some Protestant iconoclast but by a Jesuit of good repute...
When parochial teachers of Rochester, N. Y. gathered for an annual conference, 800 priests and nuns heard a speech by Rev. Francis Peter LeBuffe, S.

...became public when Commissioner of Public Works Oscar Edwin Hewitt approved the project on condition that a competent sculptor could be found to do a historically accurate job at no cost to the city.
