...founded 66 years ago until the end of World War II, St. Bernard's Benedictines and their Catholic students maintained an aloof hostility to the Baptists and Lutherans of nearby Cullman, Ala. (pop. 12,000). Occasionally, there was even violence; at one gown-town brawl a priest was bopped by a bottle. But after the war, two things happened: the G.I. Bill enabled more local boys to go to college than ever before, and the Rev. Brian J. Egan became St. Bernard's director of public relations...
From boyhood in his native Nashville, Tenn., Samuel Stritch led the way. He was only ten when he finished grammar school. At 16 he graduated with a B.A. from St. Gregory's Seminary in Cincinnati, was ordained a Roman Catholic priest at 22. When he was 34 he became Bishop of Toledo, the youngest bishop in the U.S., and nine years later he was Archbishop of Milwaukee. A decade after that, in 1940, the Most Rev.

Next fall Bachelor of Divinity Hinshaw may enter the Presbyterian ministry, which has been open to women only...
What do they tell of early Sardinia? The awesome priest, with double-handled dagger worn at chest height appears often, as do long-haired priestesses. Warriors abound, some garbed in helmets, breastplates and greaves, and capable of such feats as shooting a bow while standing on a bare-backed horse. A dancing piper with an exaggerated phallus indicates the celebration of orgiastic rites; farmers arrive with lambs for sacrifice and bearing bowls of barley meal for offerings. Most moving of all is a pre-Christian madonna and child, probably yet another appearance of the fertility and mother goddess who held...
