Priest, author and sociologist Father Andrew M. Greeley is one of the most influential Catholic thinkers and writers of our time. He has attracted a worldwide parish through his 50 bestsellers and more than 20 million books sold.
A professor of Sociology at the University of Chicago and the University of Arizona, Greeley focuses his research on pivotal issues facing the Catholic Church, including the celibacy of priests, religious imagination and the sexual behavior of Catholics. In bestselling novels like Cardinal Sins and Irish Stew and over 100 non-fiction books including Confessions of a Parish Priest and The Making of the Popes, he has unflinchingly urged his beloved Church to become more responsive to evolving concerns of Catholics everywhere.
Greeley recently celebrated 50 years as a priest and released three books including a novel, The Priestly Sins, which Publishers Weekly called “a must-read” for anyone interested in the ongoing controversy in the Catholic Church. In 2005 he was ABC's on-site consultant in Rome during the Vatican conclave. Described by The Los Angeles Times as “a master of the human heart,” Greeley has inspired thousands to reconnect with their beliefs.
In his latest book, A Stupid, Unjust and Criminal War: Iraq 2001-2007, a collection of his uncompromising and prophetic Chicago Sun Times columns, Greeley raises critical and moral questions that explores what is most precious in our American heritage and how we must recover our deepest values.
