Three Bishops refute flawed theology of Fr. Andrew Greeley
In an article by Barbara Kralis.
...Fr. Andrew Greeley perpetuated the second controversy regarding the same memorandum from Cardinal Ratzinger.
None would dispute that Fr. Greeley is the ‘Catholic’ darling of the secular media. Whenever the major news marketers require an interviewee regarding Catholic Church issues, they indisputably call upon the ubiquitous Fr. Greeley.
Author of numerous nigh on pornographic novels, Father Greeley is under the authority of Cardinal Francis George, Archbishop of Chicago. It is not known if Cardinal George has imposed any disciplines upon the aging hippy Father Greeley whose behavior is not consistent with the ordained priesthood.
True to form, in an August 10, 2004 New York Daily News article, Fr. Greeley crafted a column that disparaged faithful Bishops and used the deceitful headline “Catholics can vote for Kerry.”
In this article, Fr. Greeley dishonestly stated that His Eminence Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, prefect for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, said that Catholics could vote for Presidential candidate John Kerry who promotes procured abortion.
Fr. Greeley was fraudulently referring to the Cardinal Ratzinger memorandum.

Yes, he's probably a heretic on theology (I'm not Catholic) and he's definitely an obnoxious guy. But when he observes that Islam is getting a favored role in the Iraq constitution -- or the Shi'ia are insisting on such -- he's merely stating a fact. And when he says it was stupid to think we could graft Western BillofRights democracy onto the cultural stock of a Muslim Arab country, he's being more realistic -- and classically conservative -- thant the utopians who assured us it could happen
