Nobody puts constraints on God. She doesn’t like it  (Andrew Greeley Quotes) Yet, if the most frequent sex and apparently the best sex is that between married partners who are faithful to one another, is there not a hint that affection might be an important aspect of sex? Even love?  (Andrew Greeley Quotes) I don’t think Jesus was an exclusivist. He said, and we believe, that He is the unique representation of God in the world. But that doesn’t mean this is the only way God can work  (Andrew Greeley Quotes) I have to say that I have no regrets about my decision to become a priest or about the major directions my ministry has taken me... I have been and am happy as a priest, and I have never been lonely... I could have used a bit more solitude  (Andrew Greeley Quotes) I think that the core doctrines of Christianity - the incarnation, the resurrection, life after death-these are as strong as ever. In fact, the belief in life after death has increased in this century  (Andrew Greeley Quotes) If we get you in the early years of your life and we fill your head with all of the Catholic stories, then it’s very hard for you to stop being Catholic. Catholics are Catholics because they like being Catholic  (Andrew Greeley Quotes) In God, the characteristics of men and women that we admire in men and women are combined.

Instead of taking the lead in the reform movement... they pulled the plug on it. They tried and are still trying to return the church to the dry ice of the previous century and a half  (Andrew Greeley Quotes) There is an electricity about a friendship relationship. We are both more relaxed and more sensitive, more creative and more reflective, more energetic and more casual, more excited and more serene. It is as though when we come in contact with our friend we enter into a different environment  (Andrew Greeley Quotes) The kernel is the belief that God is love and, in Catholicism, God’s love is present in the world. It is in the sacraments, in the Eucharist, in our families, in our friends, in our neighborhood, and forgiveness in the touch of a friendly hand, in a rediscovered love God is there  (Andrew Greeley Quotes) The men who were running the church in the late 60s and 70s panicked when they saw the chaos, which developed after the council. The relatively modest changes of those years thawed the ice in which Catholicism had been frozen since the French Revolution  (Andrew Greeley Quotes) People came into the Church in the Roman Empire because the Church was so good-Catholics were so good to one another, and they were so good to pagans, too. High-pressure evangelization strikes me as an attempt to deprive people of their freedom of choice  (Andrew Greeley Quotes) I have terrible handwriting. I now say it’s a learning disability... but a nun who was a very troubled woman hit me over the fingers with a ruler because my writing was so bad.  (Andrew Greeley Quotes) (The Catholic Church must) clean out the pedophiles, break up the gay cliques, tighten up the seminary, and restore the good name of the priesthood  (Andrew Greeley Quotes) We’re given second chances every day of our life. We don’t usually take them, but they’re there for the taking.  (Andrew Greeley Quotes) We are born with two incurable diseases, life, from which we die, and hope, which says maybe death isn’t the end.  (Andrew Greeley Quotes) An adolescent is somebody who is in between things. A teenager is somebody who’s kind of permanently there. And so living with them through the various teenage hopes and sorrows and joys was curiously enough a maturing experience for me  (Andrew Greeley Quotes) Everyone takes surveys. Whoever makes a statement about human behavior has engaged in a survey of some sort  (Andrew Greeley Quotes) I have terrible handwriting. I now say it’s a learning disability... but a nun who was a very troubled woman hit me over the fingers with a ruler because my writing was so bad  (Andrew Greeley Quotes) I wouldn’t say the world is my parish, but my readers are my parish. And especially the readers that write to me. They’re my parish. And it’s a responsibility that I enjoy  (Andrew Greeley Quotes) It is also asserted that the election settled the matters of the war and the torture of prisoners. These are dead issues that no longer need be addressed  (Andrew Greeley Quotes) One cannot escape the harsh fact that as a ministerial profession, the priesthood has very serious problems. They are not new. They did not develop yesterday or last year  (Andrew Greeley Quotes) Priest organizations around the country, both local and national, should realize that their membership has a serious image problem and undertake programs to improve it  (Andrew Greeley Quotes) We’re given second chances every day of our life.
