Thus far, Dr. Cooper has used his technique on 1,000 patients...
...conservatives took out their wrath in the kind of paper warfare scholars love: footnote-stippled articles in somber technical journals that few laymen ever see. Their principal target was Rome's Jesuit-run Pontifical Biblical Institute, one of the two institutions in the world where Catholics can get a degree to teach Scripture.* In a series of finger-wagging papers, monsignori attached to Rome's Curia-principally Paolo Cecchetti, Antonino Romeo and Antonio Piolanti-began hinting that certain teachers...
