Graham Greene's on his Catholic Faith: "The problem is, I don't believe my unbelief"

In the later years of his life, Graham Greene's closest male friend was Father Leopoldo Durán, a Spanish Catholic priest. Over more than 20 years the two men would meet at least once a year and each summer they would set off by car, journeying throughout Galicia, North-West Spain, and Portugal. These holidays were extremely important to Greene, inspiring his last novel Monsignor Quixote.
Besides documenting in fascinating detail their incidents and adventures, Durán's book gives the first informed account of the older Greene's Catholic Faith. Contrary to much opinion, Greene never divorced himself from the Church. His attitude is succinctly summarised in his words to Durán: "The trouble is, I don't believe my unbelief".
"A richly comic and, for the most part, adorable portrait of two characters in search of a picnic spot". (Daily Telegraph)
In this video I'm reading some anecdotes from Part 1 of the book "Graham Greene: Friend and Brother" to give a general idea of Graham Greene's personality. Fr. Durán kept a summary record of their discussions at the insistence of Greene himself. He was there when Graham Greene died and was the priest who Greene had made him promised would be at his bedside to administer the sacraments.
