More From John McGahern

The old catholic church traditions are worth more than all you have said. here is a principle of logic that most men have no more sense than to adopt. i will illustrate it by an old apple tree. here jumps off a branch and says, i am the true tree, and you are corrupt. if the whole tree is corrupt, are not its branches corrupt? if the catholic religion is a false religion, how can any true religion come out of it? if the catholic church is bad, how can any good thing come out of it?

We're headed for what is called type 1 civilization, planetary civilization. type 2 would be stellar civilization, like star trek. type 3 civilization would be galactic, like star wars. we are type 0. we get our energy from dead plants, oil and coal. but the question is: will we make it? will we make the transition from type 0 to type 1? it's not clear.

I am catholic, i was raised catholic, i am a practicing catholic. but i say we need to agree to disagree. we have a shared mission around poverty, and i focus on that, because we do a lot with the catholic church around poverty alleviation. i'm always looking for: what is the common thread? what do we care about? what do we believe in? we believe in women around the world. we believe in all lives have equal value.

I am catholic but i want to say something to the catholics. thank you for some of the bishops who live in rural areas, and are still catholic. these bishops of the catholic churches still pray for the poor, and pray for their president who works for the poor, while the leaders of the catholic church only defend oligarchy.

I went to a catholic university and there's something about being a catholic-american. you know, st. patrick's day is, i'm irish-catholic. there's alcoholism in my family. it's like i've got to be catholic, right?

I think the number one public-relations blunder osama has made is that he lives in a cave-fortress and if there's one thing we've learned from it's that you can't trust a guy who lives in a cave-fortress -- lex luther, captain nemo, dr. evil. i'm telling you the list goes on.

People are almost always better than their neighbors think they are.

It is obvious when an actor has put work into prep and research and understanding their character, and they're making choices, because that's what happens when you take the time - or have the time - to really think about the material, but that only accounts for about 60% of what happens on the day. when you're in the moment, you throw it all away. well, you don't throw it all away, but it's in you now, and everything is reactionary in that moment and you have to be honest and present and listening.

What i think people should realize is that programs like social security, programs like medicare, programs like the veterans administration, programs like your local park and your local library - those are, if you like, socialist programs; they're run by [and] for the public, not to make money. i think in many ways we should expand that concept so that the american people can enjoy the same benefits that people all over the world are currently enjoying.
