In addition to scholarly studies and popular
fiction, this prolific writer pens a weekly column that appears in the
Chicago Sun-Times and other newspapers. He is also a frequent contributor to
The New York Times, the National Catholic Reporter, America and Commonweal.
Known for his mischievous Irish wit and trenchant commentary, Father Greeley
is interviewed regularly on national radio and television. He has also
authored hundreds of articles on sociological topics, ranging from school
desegregation to elder sex to politics and the environment. His articles
appear in a broad cross-section of scholarly publications. |

| Throughout his priesthood, Father Greeley has unflinchingly urged his beloved Church to become more responsive to evolving concerns of Catholics everywhere. His clear writing style, consistent themes and celebrity stature have made him a leading spokesperson for generations of Catholics. Many claim to have remained within the Church because Father Greeley fosters meaningful debate on significant issues that would otherwise remain unexplored. He has chronicled his service to the Church in two autobiographies, Confessions of a Parish Priest and Furthermore! |

In 1986, Father Greeley established a $1 million Catholic
Inner-City School Fund, providing scholarships and financial support to
schools in the Chicago Archdiocese with a minority student body of more than
50 percent. In 1984, he contributed a $1 million endowment to establish a
chair in Roman Catholic Studies at the University of Chicago. He also funds
an annual lecture series, "The Church in Society," at St. Mary of the Lake
Seminary, Mundelein, Illinois, from which he received his S.T.L. in 1954. Father Greeley has received many honors and awards, including honorary degrees from the National University of Ireland at Galway, the University of Arizona and Bard College. A Chicago native, he earned his M.A. in 1961 and his
Ph.D. in 1962 from the University of Chicago. He is a penetrating student of
popular culture who is deeply engaged with the world around him.
