...deacon is neither a priest nor a layman. He may not celebrate Mass or hear confessions, but he may officiate at baptisms, marriages and funerals, as well as preach.

But in 1965, he adopted the style that was to set him apart. Instead of preaching humility and meekness, he began to preach a pride bordering on arrogance. "Say it after me," Ike tells his listeners.
