A luminous conversation with this magnificent couple, who got their start as public figures at Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park, London. Mrs. Sheed sees the convulsions in the Church today as having less to do with the sort of tension that Browning chronicled ("He said that unbelief shook the believer, and belief shook the unbeliever"); rather, "with a good many [young people] I think it's only that they were frightfully ill instructed. I think nothing could be worse than the religious teaching in most Catholic schools, and when they suddenly find everything thrown open as it is today, they are unduly disturbed. But I have a kind of hope that great good will come of it in the long run." Mr. Sheed: "Well, I don't know what Maisie's view is, but mine is it's one of the most extraordinary paradoxes, that a nun will devote forty years of really dedicated sacrificial life to teaching children nonsense about God."
