Brothers and Sisters concerns Sophia and Christian Stace, who have been happily married for more than a quarter-century. Then one day poor Christian opens the fateful desk and finds a letter saying that he and Sophia had a common father. How could that happen, even in a Compton-Burnett plot? This way: Christian had never known who his father was. had grown up simply as the "adopted son" of Sophia's father, old Andrew Stace. In point of fact-as the letter now reveals-he was old Andrew's illegitimate son by a neighbor of theirs...
...dispute began in May, 1955, when Halton delivered four sermons attacking Walter T. Stace, professor of Philosophy, for "professional incompetence." Labeling Stace's Metaphysics "a metaphysical mambo," Halton later charged the professor with "poisoning the minds of students with incompetence for 38 years." He contended that Stace had made 22 errors of fact in his treatment of St. Thomas Aquinas, which, he said, implied that Stace had not read the Summa Theologica...

He suggested that the University either hire an "authoritative spokesman" for Catholicism or not discuss that religion...
Professing to see a Catholic conspiracy to dominate the educational system by converting the six leading universities in this country to Catholicism, Elderkin claimed the attacks on Stace and the Religion Department were logical parts of the strategy.

The one and sufficient answer is that Catholicism does not tolerate Protestantism and would destroy it if possible...
Princeton's Walter T. Stace. 68, onetime British colonial official (he was mayor of Colombo, Ceylon), now one of the leading philosophers of the English-speaking world. A shy, retiring scholar, Stace started out training for the ministry at Dublin's Trinity College, has combined his studies of Western classic philosophers with quiet reflection on the world's religions. "Civilization," he concluded, "is organized goodness," and goodness comes, not from reason or faith alone, but from a "moral intuition"-a sense of the eternal order ruled by a god who is at once the ultimate mystery...
