		The whites of Grant Parish, like whites just about everywhere in the South where there was a large and now politically empowered fl population, believed that the Negroes were poised to take that short step.

	SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Can every parish priest grant indulgences? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		I answer that, Indulgences are effective, in as much as the works of satisfaction done by one person are applied to another, not only by virtue of charity, but also by the intention of the person who did them being directed in some way to the person to whom they are applied.
		Hence a bishop alone is properly called a prelate of the Church, wherefore he alone, like a bridegroom, receives the ring of the Church.
		Those priests who have charge of the people are not prelates strictly speaking, but assistants, hence, in consecrating priests the bishop says: "The more fragile we are, the more we need these assistants": and for this reason they do not dispense all the sacraments.
