Fr. Greeley's...

I take it by the "Fr." that this gent is a priest.

Perhaps his view of the Chicago Christian society is coloured by his exposure to his, what's the best word, "flock" or "constituents."

In my experience, I've never known a priest to walk about his parish meeting new folks, or mixing with the crowd. They'll drop by somebody's place if invited, pop in to the hospital to give last rites if requested, but that walk-by you see on television just doesn't happen.

My point is, as nice as he is, maybe his view of the community is limited by what he is exposed to.
