More kids at that mass that I saw at church a few weeks ago. Whatever works—the word is the word.

Christianity has a long history of adapting to the needs of the parishioners.

Martin Luther’s A Mighty Fortress was adapted from a beer song.

Heard of a Manchester NH bar (Strange Brew) that was holding religious talks etc as part of a program called Theology On Tap.
Wiki:
>>Theology on Tap is a program of lectures sponsored by a number of local Catholic dioceses. The lectures, which are often given by noted spiritual leaders and religious academics, address current topics in religion and theology, and are notable and sometimes controversial for their venue, which is normally a bar or restaurant. The concept has become common among other Christian Denominations, particularly Episcopalians, Lutherans, Anglicans, and some Presbyterian and Methodist churches...Advocates for Theology on Tap, however, have defended the concept, calling it, among other things, the practice of “bringing the faith to where the people are.” The fact that the lectures are open to the public is also hoped to bring in a broad audience; one organizer has stated that the goal of the lectures is “to reach out to people primarily in their 20s and 30s that may have strayed from their faith.”

Apparently, you disagree with St. Paul that worship should conducted with “decency and order.”
