Mass Appeal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Mass Appeal" is a two-man, Catholic-themed comedy by playwright Bill C. Davis.

Father Tim Farley

Deacon Mark Dolson

Tim Farley is the pastor of an affluent, suburban Catholic parish. He's highly popular among his parishioners because of his charm, his wit, his easy-going manner and his entertaining (but unchallenging) sermons.

Young deacon Mark Dolson interrupts Farley in the middle of a sermon, to challenge his stance on the ordination of women. Farley is simultaneously outraged and intrigued by the young deacon, and asks to have Dolson assigned to work with him.

Dolson is an idealistic firebrand, who's eager to change the Church. He enjoys attacking Farley's "song and dance theology" and questioning why Farley drinks so much. Dolson thinks it's his job to shake parishioners out of their complacency.

Farley likes Dolson, but sees that he'll never succeed as a priest if all he does is hector people and make enemies.

Each man has something to teach the other about how to perform his priestly duties.

Jack Lemmon played Father Farley in the movie version of "Mass Appeal."
