Watch In Bob We Trust For Free
In Bob We Trust
Having faithfully served his South Melbourne parish for nearly four decades, the cantankerous, controversial Catholic provocateur affectionately called Father Bob is well known and loved, as much for his incorrigible media savvy and battles with Church hierarchy as for his staunch advocacy on behalf of the disadvantaged and disenfranchised. In Bob We Trust goes behind the scenes with Bob, documenting his everyday trials during one of the most turbulent times in his career: his forced retirement and eviction from the church he called home for 38 years.

Such a frustrating disappointment
Fantastic!
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
The Catholic Church is the largest provider of charity in the world bar none. The idea of providing for the less advantaged was not originated by Bob (or perhaps I should refer to him as St Bob), nor does it end with the retirement of Bob. Fr. Bob was "retired" not because he "challenged", but because the faith he has is no longer catholic. His position as a catholic priest was based on his adherence to church teachings and humility...Fr Bob can no longer claim either of those things. The movie runs like an overly long advert for the Church of Bob. He spends most of the time "sound biting" the media attention grabbing, secular loving trite that has helped keep him in the spotlight. The funniest line was when he claimed that he hated all of the attention (yet he has always performed to a crowd?!)! The church services shown in this movie were Bob centric and surely highlighted why he needed to go rather than serving as an argument as to why he should stay.
