This little book is clearly a labor of love by an author intellectually intimate with the saints, phrophets, and Catholic writers she parodies. Both the questions and answers are delightfully tongue-in-cheek and laced with an entertaining dry humor. She is "right on" with responses to such questions as, "Why are teeth so poorly made?" asked by a root-canal sufferer, which is answered by the prophet Job. The question about getting married in a major league baseball staduim, answered by St. Rita, had me chuckling out loud. Other "authorities" include St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Francis of Assisi, and even Flannery O'Connor. The author includes a list of recommended reading for those whose curiosity is piqued by the saintly respondents. This is a pithy little read that I doubt can disappoint, whether one is well-versed in knowledge of the Church, or has just a passing acquaintance.
