huge churches - first class digs. When the call came out for such help, it was the small Episcopal church that responded.

Besides, what if they need to go to the bathroom? We can't let them use our bathrooms!

Paraphrase: So Jesus and Moses come to Manhattan. They begin their visit in Harlem and walk down 5th. Avenue to St. Patrick's Cathedral where Cardinal Spellman is on the alter, sampling the wine and Bishop Sheen is at his blackboard, preparing next week's television program.

(You had to be alive in the '50's but you can look it up on the internet tubes.)

On the way down, Jesus has picked up a couple of lepers and they follow him into the cathedral. The cathedral custodian spots them and reports this to Sheen. Sheen goes to Spellman,

Sheen: "They're here!"

Spellman: "Who's here" Get back to your blackboard."

Sheen: "Jesus is here and he's got some nice Jewish boy with him."

Sheen (Aside to the lepers) "Don't touch anything, fellas."
