Fleetingly funny here and there, but nothing very new. Not much more substantive than the humor sections from the Reader's Digest, which usually resides in most people's bathrooms. Probably a good place for this book. A quick read, mildly entertaining. If you want to read a good book about the old pre-Vatican II Church, read Powers' MORTE D'URBAN, or his son's book, DO PATENT LEATHER SHOES REALLY REFLECT UP? ( )
