Copper Sunday?

This Sunday if Catholics will contribute pennies to the tithe, perhaps they will begin to listen.

Yes, yes, we know YOUR priest is one of the good guys and not part of the problem but it's clear the Bishops and Cardinals need a stonger message....

I like the idea, but is there any organization and is there a clear message that would be sent.

IMO, something like this needs more lead time. Say May 19. Also, it needs a unified message.

Something like:

"Those of who favor one strike your out, criminal prosecution of all perpetrators, weeding homosexuals out of the seminaries, and the promotion of orthodox leaders will be showing our displeasure with the current inaction of Catholic leaders by putting a single penny in the collection basket this Sunday."

And then start e-mailing it to every Catholic you know.

If I were to drop a penny in the Collection this Sunday, my saintly pastor may think it means I want female priestesses.
