In a series of Advent sermons that packed St. Michael's Church he condemned the false choice that the Nazis had tried to place before Catholics-the choice between "Germanism" and disloyalty. His Eminence thundered: "Let us not forget that we were saved not by German blood but by the blood of Christ!'' Cardinal von Faulhaber narrowly missed a Nazi bullet in 1934.

B. went to Leavenworth to serve a 15-year rap for mail fraud. But his Salida friends didn't forget him. They signed petitions, fought for his release. In 1937 Franklin Roosevelt commuted his sentence. This time W. B. didn't have to hunt a job. Salidans had one waiting...
