Unmarried mothers, sneak thieves, streetwalkers and undernourished children are all part of the day's trouble at Trinity. Alcoholics are everywhere-even on the church staff. Joe O'Brien, the doorman, is a retired bartender who knows what it is to lose a weekend in the bottom of a glass. So do Charley Hirst, 51, Father Kern's secretary, and onetime Engineer John McCarthy, who runs the employment agency. Father Kern is an expert at straightening out "whisky priests...
