It’s an odd coincidence that Alexandra Pelosi’s new documentary 
“Fall to Grace” (HBO, 8 p.m.), about the new life of former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey, is running in a week when the Supreme Court is hearing arguments on two cases of marriage equality for gays.
While the Court struggles to appear to be in the 21st century, the rest of the country seems much more attuned to gay rights. But nine years ago, when McGreevey announced he was gay, there was no question but that he had to quit office as well. Of course there was that whole mess with his wife and his lover on the payroll.
After some soul searching, he has found a new role, helping female inmates as he gets on a path to become a priest. It’s a laudable career path, and it’s apparent he does some real good inside the jails, where the prisoners are by and large forgotten. He seems so articulate and well versed on issues, it’s a shame, though, that he’s no longer shaping policy.
The church is skeptical of making him a priest — in part because of the spotlight he brings with him. But his redefinition of himself is inspirational.
