...Vatican's prestigious Gregorian University. By the time he was 31, he was vice-rector of Catholic University in Puerto Rico and a monsignor. But in 1960 he disagreed with the political intervention of Puerto Rico's Bishop James McManus when the bishop tried to forbid Catholics to vote for Governor Luis Muñoz Marin, who favored experimental birth control centers.

This is a horrifying freedom and one must immediately temper it with a sober assessment, springing from the ethic of responsibility of how means and ends ought to be reconciled, fortified by the knowledge that the ethic of ultimate ends will, at some moment, forbid further compromise...

Carr, manager of Dudley House Dining Hall, jostled Rossman, kicked his placard down the stairs, and ordered him off University property. (Harvard rules forbid vending on campus). When Rossman refused to withdraw, Carr attempted to confiscate his box of about a dozen yogurt cartoons. Rossman demanded remuneration, and Carr retreated to call the University police...
