I am a former Episcopalian of the strict observance. Let nothing tacky pass before my eyes!
There was a little culture shock involved with my “conversion.”
But recently I realized that Naaman the Syrian probably thought the Jordan was tacky.h
Other than that, it’s nice to see the church in Mexico actually engaging in outreach. When my then (and now late, RIP) pastor and I had a ministry to migrant workers, they were politely reluctant to have us provide them with sacramental and pastoral ministry. Finally we winkled out of them that they thought we were going to CHARGE them! While I think the persecution and oppression of the Catholic Church in Mexico is disgraceful, I do think that a lot of the clergy there are (or have been) dopes.
Different people respond to different messages and ways of reaching out. If they’re teaching Christ risen and forgiveness through repentance then it’s for the good even if it might cause some to wince. That’s been my take on tacky televangelists, happy-clappy megachurches, etc. and it would apply here, too, if it weren’t satire. I was just having a little fun.
