Well, Andrew Greely has written fantasy so why not have a Roman Catholic
priest writing science fiction?

Taken from the SciFi.com website:
Determined to recapture the science fiction of their youth, not as it was
but as it should have been, Gary K. Wolf, creator of Roger Rabbit, and his
best friend, John J. Myers, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Newark, N.J.,
now transport us to the far reaches of the galaxy. There the mere mention of
the pirate known as Space Vulture strikes fear into every heart, and a
hardworking colonist's only hope is that the dauntless lawman Marshal Victor
Corsaire will rocket to the rescue. Come along for the ride and discover all
the adventure, suspense, wonder and fun that Gary and John first found in
science fiction 50 years ago and now share with you in this rollicking tale
of the spaceways.

*Gary K. Wolf* wrote three science-fiction novels for Doubleday and twice
had short stories in the distinguished *Orbit* anthology before introducing
Roger Rabbit in *Who Censored Roger Rabbit?* (St. Martin's, 1981), the basis
for the hit film, *Who Framed Roger Rabbit* (1988). Before becoming a
full-time writer, Wolf spent 17 years working in advertising.

The Most Reverend *John J. Myers* was the Bishop of Peoria, Ill., before
being installed as Archbishop of Newark, N.J., in 2001. He holds a doctorate
in canon law and his written in that field as well as on theological and
pastoral matters.
