Fleets of CC-Mobiles, new roving confession and Communion trucks, are plying neighborhoods in Mexico and the U.S.... The Church hopes to appeal to youth with Radical Rosary conferences. The PromiseKeepers-style events will promote church rituals under new names like “Man Your Stations” stations of the Cross and “Kickin’-It Confessionals” which Church literature describes as “hang-out sessions with priests where you can talk about anything that’s on your mind except subjects relating to child abuse.” Priests are also distributing bumper stickers that say, “Sì, Catolico!” and “Catholic … And Cool.”

That’s tackier than anything I’ve ever seen some white-suited, blowdried televangelist do. Does it play kiddie music so it can be heard coming from blocks away? Danger, danger Dr. Smith, lol. The driver of that one needs to stay out of the communion wine before driving, too, looking at the recent dents.

“...yesterday acknowledged its “insane jealousy and rabid envy of Pentecostals” in Latin America...”

LOL! How and where was this done...and by whom? Lol!

I notice that the website producing this article also offers horoscopes. Could it be that we are getting a rather distorted “reporting” from this group?

;-o

Cute idea. We should get out with the people where they are. You can keep the fluorescent colored Eucharists, though. Nowadays, doing anything close to giving your confession in the public square means you accept the risk that others are probably listening to your stammered litany of inequities.

Not really new. Catholic Church in America used mobile vans for missionary work in the 30s and 40s.

Catholics NEVER call the host a “wafer.”

Was this article from 2005?

Capitalizing on momentum from recent papal events, the Catholic church yesterday acknowledged its “insane jealousy and rabid envy of Pentecostals” in Latin America, and launched an ambitious plan to re-assert itself in countries where it has lost ground.

Not exactly the Latin Mass, while once again, Rome's preeminence is manifest as being the real goal, not converting the lost, by warring against conservative evangelicals who left Rome due its spiritual deficiencies. Which is now replaced with hype.

“We are excited about the potential of our 78-year-old German conservative pope to dazzle people with his proven ‘rock star quality,’” says a priest from Oaxaca. “He will help us take back ground we conquered five hundred years ago.”

Apparently an old story.

Perhaps they just need to learn to put their hands in the air.
