Summary:
"Should a priest tell his congregation what they want to hear instead of the truth? Mass Appeal stars Jack Lemmon as Father Tim Farley, a complacent priest who drives a Mercedes and cracks jokes from the pulpit of a wealthy suburban parish. When idealistic Mark Dolson, a radical seminarian, accuses him of 'song and dance theology,' the result is a head-on clash that teaches each man the true meaning of faith."-- [cover]
