Catholic Voice, a newspaper published by the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn, Australia, published the following review of Surprised by Canon Law, Volume II:

"Most people probably missed Surprised by Canon Law Volume I so Volume II retains the element of surprise. This book of only 142 pages consists of 13 chapters relating to different areas of Church life.

Each chapter has a question-answer format. Each question is answered by exploring the law of the Church with some 100 questions considered. The questions refer to many current issues in the life of the Church, eg, How long are priests assigned to a parish? Who owns Church property? What is a diocesan ecumenical commission? What is an association of the faithful?

Such questions are not merely of passing interest but touch on the rights and responsibilities of individuals and groups in the Church and the ordering of ecclesial life. This work makes a positive contribution to understanding the law of the Church. It is written in simple, straight-forward English for laity and clergy alike."
