"When I became a man," Barrie noted sadly, "[Da-vid] was still...
...first TV prima donna, complete with studio audience and commercial sponsor. At the peak of his popularity he became the nation's most famous preacher and most celebrated Catholic priest. In that cold war era, Catholicism was far more self-assured than it is now. The six extraordinary TV seasons of "the Microphone of God" made his Church of Rome less threatening to Protestants and Jews in the years just before John F. Kennedy...
