The Father Clements Story plot

A pastor (Gossett) cares about the plight of homeless children in the poor neighborhoods of Chicago and tries to place them with adoptive parents. When he has nowhere to "lose" Warner, he decides to adopt him himself because he wants to prevent him from joining a gang. This is met with opposition from Cardinal Cody (O'Connor). He has to fight it all the way to the Vatican.
