Interesting.

New York Times...ok, not much can be believed.

Fight nights. ‘Brazilian’ JiuJitsu in Brazil? Could that be likened to church basketball leagues here in the states? I don’t think I have a problem with that.

Tattoo...not a big fan myself, but that doesn’t make you ‘not a christian’. I suppose it could be likened to a beer tent here in the states, which I have seen churches ‘sponsor’.

The topic of this article is Evangelicals on the rise in Catholic Brazil. Catholics attend church to worship God, not to be entertained. And we Catholics do have a problem with that.
