Summary: More sociobabble from Greeley
Comment: Again using his sociological talents -- largely poll reading -- Fr. Andrew Greeley assures us that Catholic priests in America are no worse off than other employed males in the helping professions. According to him their only problem is really that they don't get along well with or understand their parishioners. Well, if true that is pretty devastating. Priests appear to be less educated, less intellectually curious, less conscientious, and less emphathetic than their parishioners have come to expect. Once the old Church and its Tridentine clericalism vanished what also vanished were the old reasons for revering priests. The priests have not found an alternative aura with which to dazzle the laity. Greeley sort of hints at this but all his statistics don't really amount to a hill of beans, and he underplays the role of celibacy in the sexual abuse scandal. Again I say he should stick to writing novels.
