I think Catholic Americans had better believe there's truth in all religions, because the Second Vatican Council said that. We don't believe that we have a monopoly on truth. We believe what we have is true, but it's not the whole truth. And we can learn a lot from the other religions if we listen to them respectfully.
More Quotes from Andrew Greeley:

Why does God permit us whom he loves to die And you know what I say, where was God at the World Trade Center He was there weeping for his fractured children. That's not a direct answer to the question but it's the best I could do. God suffers with us.

I don't know what the next Pope is going to be like. I do know this, the Catholic laity all over the world have made up their minds-we have data from 37 countries-have made up their minds the Church is not going to interfere in their sex lives. That may be wrong, but that's the way it is.

Andrew Greeley
The kernel is the belief that God is love and, in Catholicism, God's love is present in the world. It is in the sacraments, in the Eucharist, in our families, in our friends, in our neighborhood, and forgiveness in the touch of a friendly hand, in a rediscovered love God is there.
