Sanctity In The Midst Of Mediocrity : Graham Greene's Whiskey Priest, Eamon Maher

Articles

The English novelist and convert to Catholicism, Graham Greene (1904-1991), saw the priest as being core to his literary portrayal of Catholicism. The Power and the Glory (1940), published four years after Bernanos' Diary of a Country Priest, is set in a Latin American country, most probably Mexico, which Greene visited in 1938.
