...here right away," the caller told Los Angeles police. "There's a man lying on the front lawn and blood all over the place. It looks like a bad one." It was even worse than the caller thought. When police reached the hilltop home rented by Film Director Roman Polanski (Knife in the Water, Rosemary's Baby) in the fashionable suburb of Bel Air, they found not one body but five.

Most converts have long identified Catholicism with the Western European liturgy that they first learned.
