"Authority means law which is enforceable," he explained. "There is an absolute lack of authority in the Episcopal Church-at least so far as the priesthood is concerned...
Last week Kernan's rector, having resigned his pastorate, followed him to Rome.

By the time Trouble Along...
Last week he was playing Manhattan's Latin Quarter, right across Broadway from where Rector's used to be. It was at Rector's in 1917 that Ted made his first hit in the big time, and his family the Friedmans of Circleville, Ohio, finally learned what their wandering boy was up to. And it was outside Rector's one night that Ted acquired his famous topper in a crap game with a cabbie named Mississippi. It has been part of his act ever since...
