Fr. Greeley’s works are the reason I am an unrepentant catholic. “There’s nothing the world or the church itself do to a Catholic to make him/her leave the church or stop being catholic.” Once a catholic, is forever a catholic.
Cardinal Sins, Cardinal virtues, White Smoke, Angels of september, Valentine, Contact with an Angel…..and many more, are some of my favorites.
Thank you fore x-raying his life and times here, for some of us to learn more about his person and works.
God bless you.
