Pope Mary : & The Church of Almighty Good Food

This is a barnstorming satire on the nature of religion and small-town life. Vinal County, Ohio is a place where corn is king and soybeans are a distant cousin. The spires of regal Catholic churches rise out of the farm landscape and are living manifestations to the faith of God-fearing farm families who contributed to the collection plate every Sunday for generations. Little changes as seasons progress, until one day the higher-ups in Rome decide to shut down these churches and make way for some good old-fashioned 21st century style efficiency. A mini-revolution occurs in the churchyard of St Philodendra's; the lock on the venerable church door is shattered, leaving it swinging in the wind, and the sanctuary open to all. With razor sharp satire, flawless characterisation, superb dialogue, and formidable comic situations, "Pope Mary" is a barnstorming rumination on the nature of religion and belief.
