What manner of soul has Al Capone, only he and his Lord know. In the Terminal Island prison in San Pedro Bay, California (whither he was transferred last January), the nation's most notorious criminal attends Roman Catholic Mass, confesses his sins regularly.

While the Senate is a revered Roman institution, the Chamber of Deputies-conceived in the 19th Century's surge of parliamentarianism-was not.

S. this week was Monsignor Knox's latest book, Let Dons Delight.†. To many a reader, Catholic and non-Catholic, this work will bring delight. To others, including many U. S. Catholics who find it difficult to comprehend the lightheartedness and apparent irreverence of their European coreligionists, the book will be shocking...
Thus the Juniper tree Never ceases to be Since observed by yours faithfully God. This summer Monsignor Knox retires from Oxford to execute a commission given him by England's Roman Catholic bishops: a new translation of the Vulgate (Latin) scriptures...
