The Prestige lies in shame, 145 nautical miles off the northwestern state of Galicia, and its remaining cargo - at least 55,000 tons of thick fuel oil - could detonate in days, weeks or months into a great black tide of viscous goo, unleashing one of the worst marine disasters ever.

A tide of similar complaints that peaked in the last two weeks now finds Connell, 76, a fastidious expert on Aquinas who wrote his doctoral thesis on angels, being heckled at Mass, reading editorials demanding his resignation and, since last week, facing a tough government inquiry. The widespread view that...
