...spiritual danger of going steady is spelled out in some detail by Free-Lance Writer Roma Rudd Turkel in Information, a monthly publication of the Paulist Fathers. The church, she writes, "knows that it is impossible (not improbable but impossible) for a boy and a girl to be alone together in an intimate and exclusive companionship for any length of time without serious sin. And she has seen the tragic pattern shaping up Saturday night after Saturday night in parish churches across the country; these boys and girls start making bad confessions, then no confessions, followed by no sacraments...
Along with one subway station, a lavatory, and an imminent city parking lot, the subterranean section of Boston Common also seems to contain a cow-tunnel. The Paulist Fathers have been building a new Information Center on Park Street. To do this they had to tear down an old building. In the sub-basement of the old building they found eight stalls.

...Handmaid of Religion. While he was studying for the priesthood, the Paulist Order sent him all over Europe to study with the masters of choral music. Young O'Malley took full advantage of the opportunity. Says he: "The church through various Popes has recognized the boy's voice as the proper vehicle for religious music because of its innocent quality. The early composers of the polyphonic period wrote for boys and men, not for men and women. So it's my belief that this music can only be sung by boys and men, and I wanted...
