This book was a good read and contained a lot of feel good Catholicism. The plot seemed a bit contrived - characters were introduced to move the plot along. The big plot hole for me was that the main character, in these days of media saturation, could wander around and not be recognised in a nano second.  Some awkward bits - that tracksuit just happening to be outside the door, the security for the Pope visiting Vancouver was abysmal it would never be so in real life - necessary for the plot to move. If the two priests were reminising about the old Latin days some of the English prayers would have had a lot more 'thees" and "thous" in them. Are we to believe that the media wouldn't be making "Fr Bob's" life a hell and that he would be able to have an apostolate among the poor without their harrassment? Wasn't the whole "Gee I'm sorry guys" a bit too easy.  Has Bob forgotten he already has a bride - the Church and so he should put the other woman out of his mind if he is going to be Faithful to Her.
