As the Sparks Fly Upward ... by BRUCE STEWART
1The"holy"Cutid'Ars is spoken of as stupid - ill-informed - in personal demeanour, shabby and unprepossessing. And this is not by "free " thinkers, but by his fellow clergy i t Yet he is renowned far and wide for the wonders that are said to proceed from him. The prodigies. People queue up to confess to him. and he accommodates them all, however large the number. He soothes away distress, cures ills, and chief among marvels, perhaps. he is attended by strange -phenomena. Yes. There seems ample evidence for this. But as yet.... no explanation.'
