But by the time I was ordained and was dumped into Beverly, there were teenagers.»

Author: Andrew Greeley
«I'd say that Catholicism in the United States has the distinct advantage of being in a pluralistic society, where your religion contributes something to your identity. So you tend to define yourself as a Catholic. I'm Irish, Catholic, a Democrat from the West Side of Chicago, and that's pretty much my identity.»
