...these activities, Father Feeney was expelled from the Jesuit order. Archbishop Richard J. Cushing silenced him, and put St. Benedict's under interdict. By silencing is meant that Father Feeney is not allowed to preach or teach until the ban is lifted. With St. Benedict's under interdict, anyone who goes there is denied the sacraments of the Church and cannot receive the Holy Eucharist...

Gandhi & Greatness. Hairy charm is not, however, Davidson's only contribution to art. His admirers believe that, at 68, he is the greatest living sculptor.
