In a few months spent in Rome in 1948, Father Ken neally secured a doctorate in theology from the Collegio Angelico, and the baccalau reate in Sacred Scripture from the Biblical Commis sion. The examinations passed then, magna cum laude, were the culmination of many years’ Scriptural study, part of which was made in Rome shortly after the Vincentian’s ordination.
