Random critic: You know, you're no James Joyce.

Father Andrew Greeley:  Why do I have to be James Joyce? James Joyce was the kind of genius who comes around once every few centuries, if that.  Why can't James Joyce be James Joyce? Why can't I be me?  I decided I wanted to be a priest when I was 7 years old growing up on the West Side of Chicago. It's all I've ever wanted to be.  I've just tried to tell stories of God's love.  And I think I have done that well.

I wish you all good things!

I have just come from seeing one of the best Argentinian movies ever made; which is to say, one of the worst films in the history of the world.
