内容简介

From Library Journal Largely a defense of his novels as " `comedies of grace，' . . . the most effective priestly activity in which he has ever engaged，" Father Greeley's memoir is also an amalgam of sociological jargon， cutesy dialogue， and righteous tirades that is flavored by chutzpah， ingenuousness， and some surprisingly spiritual reflections. The details Greeley shares of his personal， priestly， and professional successes and frustrations will be interesting only to Greeley fans， while those who regard him as an opportunist and a scandal will probably also object to the opinions on morality， the Church， football， etc.， he expresses here. If only because of Greeley's notoriety， libraries should have this unique， provocative testament of a feisty Irish-American Catholic phenomenon. Nancy M.
