Hard to put down

Great read....had a few nuggets to help me on my faith journey. A wonderful, captivating story. Highly recommend it.

Warm, funny novel about the "Catholic crisis"

What a wonderful, funny and original novel! The conservative Catholics of a small midwestern diocese are dismayed when the successor to their just-retired and very conservative bishop turns out to be - well, as far to the left as the old one was to the right! Many Catholics who've survived the turmoil of the 60's and 70's will identify with the townspeople's dismay as the "liberals" take over. And yet -- while the author obviously shares their conservative ideology, he makes us understand and sympathize with the motivation, if not the action, of those on the left. By the end of this novel, you will find yourself thinking that maybe - just maybe - God really knows what He's doing, after all! (And best of all, it's not "preachy" like some religious novels tend to be - just a really good story!)
