...parents sent me to a private school at the age of 14. This severe handicap in my preparation for life has often plagued-me. Friends' fond reminiscences of sock-hops and eider sales, of the gaiety and glamour of high school life, set aching in me a vast void that seemed destined never to be filled...

Last May he began to preach against Proposition 14, a referendum to void state laws against racial discrimination in housing by establishing the "absolute discretion" of any property holder to "decline to sell, lease or rent" to anyone. About the same time, Coffield invited a San Francisco Biblical scholar to speak to a group of priests. Weeks later, the cardinal told him that the invitation violated canon...
