Andrew Greeley - Loving Pugilist | Commonweal Magazine

Another admiring obit for Father Andrew Greeley, by E.J. Dionne, the ubiquitous liberal Catholic political commentator. - GWC
Loving Pugilist | Commonweal Magazine:

You wanted Father Andrew Greeley as your friend and not your enemy. You got the sense he was born with his fists up and his loyalties fully formed. He was ready to do battle at the first signs of disrespect toward those he cared about.

Understanding Greeley, the priest, sociologist, and novelist who died last week at 85, is essential to understanding the last half-century of American Catholic history and the glorious contradictions of politics.
