Do not look for an imprimatur for this book.
The author has a wicked sense of humor. It crops up where it is unexpected. He paints scene after scene where he continues the tedious process of making religious, political and diplomatic leaders from the USA to be buffoons.
The author requests that the end not be disclosed. Once he continues the book past its logical conclusion, the ending is strongly suggested. It is also discouraging that the author makes the Pope the one true scholar of all the characters both inside the Vatican and elsewhere.
But I did like it and I recommend it to anyone who wants some laughs and who would engage in fantasy.

A (fictional) humourous look at the priestly ministry in the 50's through the eyes of newly ordained Fr. Neil and for his first posting is sent to St. Jude's parish in London. There he meets the parish priest Fr. Duddleswell, a 'crafty & cantankerous' personality full of witticisms that cause me no end of chuckles. Together they minister to the mostly Irish congregation and along with their housekeeper Mrs. Pring (who is always at odds with Fr. Duddleswell to comic effect) paints a light hearted book. It is full of the British humour that I find so endearing, with 11 short stories in this first book and I was not surprised to find out that it was made into a television series (it certainly read like one).
