Priest, columnist Greeley still in critical condition

Best-selling novelist the Rev. Andrew Greeley remains in critical condition Sunday after falling and fracturing his skull.

A spokeswoman for Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge said Sunday afternoon his condition hasn't changed.

Greeley's family says the 80-year-old snagged his jacket in the door of a taxicab Friday afternoon and fell, hitting his head. Friends say he suffered bleeding on the brain.

Greeley was born in Chicago and has written more than 50 novels, including many international mystery thrillers. In a column for the Chicago Sun-Times, he explores the relationship between religion and politics.

Greeley gave a lecture about fiction and faith Friday at a convention near O'Hare International Airport.
