“The Good Catholic” (** out of four) was a middling story about a dedicated young priest (Zachary Spicer) whose life and work are challenged when he falls in love with a troubled young woman (Wrenn Schmidt) and questions his own spiritual and personal path in life and his commitment to the church with his head priest (Danny Glover). Nicely told story is let down by an uneven screenplay which veers off into silliness too often, especially when the priests sit around and discuss the virtues of chocolate and strawberry cake! Glover is excellent as usual and so is John C. McGinley as another priest and their characters are actually more compelling than the main characters in the story.
