Is this guy still a RC priest?
They should bring back the Ryan Chapelle ("24") actor who played Carmella's priest. He was great.
I think you've misunderstood his point, which I tend to agree with.
The Sopranos is very well done trash, which I frankly haven't watched that many times. It sterotypes Italians in a way that wouldn't be acceptable for any other ethnic group. This is probably because many Italians seem to enjoy and appreciate the sterotyping.
Many central and northern Italians do indeed look down on Italians from southern Italy and Sicily, from whom most Italian-Americans are descended. There was even a political party a few years back of northern Italians who wanted to secede to get away from the southerners.
Is this guy aware that the Sopranos is practically over? I don't pay for premium channels so I've never watched it, and I've always been bored by all the attention paid to one TV show.
I've been watching "Deadwood" on DVD, and have to wonder just why that show was ever made. To me it looks like either the creator hates the era he's depicting, or he loves it for perverse reasons, that it's hard to share.
It's sort of a "Sopranos" western, but without the humor and contemporary social commentary that makes "The Sopranos" more enjoyable than it ought to be. Of course, with both shows there's always the "what's gonna happen" element that keeps people watching.
Greeley is a bore.
Andrew needs to get wacked.
Tony Soprano would say that any self respecting journalist who used an AOL email address was an effin' pansy.
And he'd be right.
There should be a HBO series centered around the Lavindar Mafia in a Catholic seminary including an episode of Cardinal McCarrick, another modernist POS, sleeping with young seminarians. The perverts.
Greeley's own mystery novels are full of sex and violence.
What a hypocrite!
He claims to know who killed a Milwaukee priest and that it was a "hit" ordered by an Italian cardinal.
But he never went to the police or the FBI with his information.
Silly old woman, he is!
Really! .. "glorifies violence" .. since when were the liberals upset about glorifying violence - WE SEE IT ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE PAPER EVERY DAY - and that's all we see - violence in Iraq - but then "Iraq is a quagmire and is about to descend into civil war" .. isn't that the mantra ..??
Fat, unnattractive middle-aged people leading lives filled with danger, power and sex?
No wonder the Sopranos is like crack for baby boomers.

He is kidding, right? Hasn't he seen most of the "gangsta" movies, videos, and hip hop style around us? Does this guy live on a farm in northern Siberia?
Most east coast/CosaNostra types I've bumped into have remarked that had a good guy been known to be layin around down by the river with another fellow rubbed his chest, he'd soon be known as that guy lying down by the river.
Funny stuff, I'd like to see a non violent version of the mafia!
He is Stugots!
And Andrew Greeley glorifies heresy.
