Fr. Andrew Greeley
Andrew M. Greeley, a Catholic priest and a sociologist, is an Honorary Senior Fellow at the University of Ireland in Dublin. He divides his time between teaching at the University of Chicago and the University of Arizona at Tucson.
Lambasted by the Catholic Church for the themes of his novels, Greeley nonetheless continues to write, saying that readers have developed better respect for the clergy and the church, as well as faith in their religion after reading his novels. Greeley started writing novels in the belief that America’s increasingly literate, affluent Catholic population represented an underserved market for popular fiction. "I had no idea how many people were going to read the books. I certainly wasn’t writing for a vast audience. I was writing the kind of stories I would like to read," Greeley says.
