Swedenborgian Street Soldier
22 March 2004
The Catholic Church isn't the only institution gripped by scandal -- the Swedenborgians have been having a hot time of it ever since they let former mob enforcer and true-crime memoirist Eddie MacKenzie keep watch over the collection plate. Once again, The Boston Globe has the scoop...

Reporter Kevin Cullen mixes it just right -- one part Friends of Eddie Coyle, one part redemption song, and a splash of elegy for a diminished faith. Shake with skepticism and serve cold -- a perfect newspaper religion story.
