Priest Romance Novelist Recovers From Head Injury: Chicago Boy's Club

Father Greeley says that Cardinal Bernardine was at least as heterosexual as he is, but will Father Greeley have the Windy City Gay Men's Chorus come play at his wake?

[Renew America] As Father Andrew Greeley continues to recover from a serious head injury suffered earlier this month, I thought I'd feature images from two of his (out-of-print) non-fiction books — Confessions of a Parish Priest (paperback edition), from 1986 and 1987; and Furthermore! Memories of a Parish Priest, from 1999 and 2000.

Interestingly, in Confessions (page 131), Father Greeley made some rather keen observations about a certain segment of the clergy — observations that proved all too accurate a decade-and-a-half later.

I'm very much afraid that if a man asks for a chorale of poofs to sing at his funeral we can pretty well assume him to be one himself. Simple logic would dictate that.

Bernardin was really a monster, and it would not surprise me in the least that in some future time we will be learning more about his unsavory life, which even now has whiffs of ephebaphilia and murder.

That he apparently died proudly supporting the homosexuals, and in the absence of any evidence that he made his peace with God before death (an unlikely event, given what we know), we have to sadly conclude that he did not save his soul.

A sadly wretched man.
