  I searched for a Good Andrew Greeley site and I found this blog. Thank you Father! We need more of this kind of sensible thinking...Chesterson would have been proud of this blog! Just about the time I think I can take no more of the Church, Father Greeley's balanced wisdom pulls me out of the din of so much cultural/religious warfare, and I am able again to find what is good, true, virtuous, in our faith and in the faith of others. Peace. Nina
