13. Details? Local priest, bishop, or just a busybody?

U.S. Catholics in recent years haven't been into book burning/banning - of course there is the old saying "Banned in Boston" - not sure if that was a Catholic thing or not or even how much of was real and how much hype. Actually I looked it up - apparently it was real but may have been as much from Puritan influence as Catholic (Irish).
