Almost as short (5 ft. 7½ in.), at least as well padded (187 Ibs.), and even more cheerful than most of the Eskimos he serves, Jesuit Llorente, 51, is a maverick candidate-a write-in whose bishop almost forced him to resign. He is also a maverick priest. For 14 years, he has served as an official marriage counselor-first appointed by the territorial court, now by the new state's Supreme Court. As state official he cannot refuse to marry anyone legally free to marry. And however invalid they may be in the eyes of his church...
...lively and far-flung correspondence, ranging from kudos to clouts, which last year elicited comment from theologians, politicians, playwrights and kings.

In his third year there, he was ordained, aged 28. He put in two years of theological graduate study at Gregorian University in Rome and various other centers of Catholic learning in Europe before taking up his lifework as professor...
...formal blessing to the U.S. pluralist system as a new, permanent and viable kind of relationship between religion and government. The learned, footnote-stippled discussion ended when Murray was advised by his order that henceforth he would have to clear all his writings on this particular subject with Jesuit headquarters in Rome...
