My first thought with your comments about Greeley were “Look to what depth Greeley has fallen — materialism, materialism, materialism...”
On the other hand, perhaps he has always been that way, and about as far from the vow of poverty that any priest could be.
But by his theological and spiritual training he should be sophisticated enough to know that external appearances (fashion and luxury automobiles) do not confer exemption from original sin or bigotry.
But why is he so familiar with this congregation on Sunday mornings? Aren't there Catholic parishes in Chicago that need a priest to say Mass or people in a hospital who need the sacraments? Why is he bowing before the Gospel of prosperity and elegant automobiles?
His article is inappropriate for a Catholic priest. Wright's sermons were bigoted and racist while the congregation cheered. And Obama is a pro-abortion maniac who deserves no help in his quest for power by a Catholic priest, albeit a crazy, old, senile one, overly impressed by freshly-waxed Cadillacs, Lincoln Continentals, Mercedes, and Jaguars. Is he really that naive not to know this is a stereotype?
