    You have written such nice things about my uncle. Thought you might be interested in this nice piece that the PBS Show Religion and Ethics Newsweekly did on Uncle. They are very nice people!

    I have read Father Andrew's books since the mid-1980s. I have grieved for the millions of Catholics, both current and former, who have missed out on the beauty and essence of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, as illustrated in his books, both non-fiction AND fiction. I would say that I have been a somewhat "cafeteria" Catholic over the past several decades in that I choose to so totally embrace the manifestations of God and the Holy Spirit, and not least, Mary, the Blessed Mother of Jesus, as depicted so beautifully and humanly in Fr. Andrew's books, while looking with trepidation and utter dismay at the Non-Jesus like dictums and attitudes of the church's hierarchy. I would not trade away the privledge to have been educated in grades one through nine in Catholic Schools because I choose to benefit and share who I am through the decades as someone who cherishes God's word and tries to live it as described in the words of the likes of Andrew
    Greeley, as opposed to the "brimstone and fire" perspective, which is where the hierarchy seems to be again directing us, while excusing themselves in delusional thinking. And I am
    not referring to today's parish priests in shrinking numbers, who give up sleep and trying to have a life as they struggle to help us make sense of today's Catholic Church.

    i've been reading his books since late 90s when his book "All About Women" captured my attention in our college library. Since then I have collected about 50 plus books including his autobio "Confessions of a Parish Priest" and he has been such an inspiration on faith, wonder and surprise. I wish more people would get to know his works.

    I haven't read any of Fr. Andrew Greeley's fictional works yet, so now I'll be checking out his Nuala Anne McGrail series!
