...crafty appeal has an oddly contemporary ring. Says fox to cock: "You should see my collection of curios! If I wanted to eat you I would have done so long ago. The truth is I like you. I want to show you the world, to develop your mind, to teach you how to live...
Women have long had some positions of influence in American religion, but now they are gaining in power. The most notable disputes have been over admitting women to equal status as clergymen.

...little band lived literally from day to day, sharing with the destitute what they could cadge from charity. The sisters were to live little better than the poor they served. They were allowed only two of the humble saris (which still cost only $1) so that they could honestly teach that it is possible to stay clean with a single change of garment. Life became only slightly less precarious in 1950, when the Vatican approved their new congregation, the Missionaries of Charity, and they moved into quarters that still serve as the mother house...
