Catholic Business

[Canto]

Hi all. I though this might be the best place to post this video and seek some discussion.

The video goes for -5 minutes and looks at viewing the Church in America as if a business and the Bishops as if board of directors.

It looks at Church figures i.e. for every new customer, four leave, some stay yet moonlight for the competition while others stay because of brand loyalty. What is the business plan to win back customers?

Is a more traditional brand of Catholicism the answer. Truth and beauty?

“Play time is over - Game On!!!” I couldn’t agree more. I only wish he would have used the word “some” bishops, instead of making snide comments about all of them. I agree in general. It reminds me of the saying “You made your own bed, now lie in it” and the one about digging one’s own grave.

Nevertheless, they ARE our bishops, and as long as they are in union w/ Rome, we need to give them great respect. Even though some seem like “artful dodgers”, the time of dodging is limited and will eventually be checked by Rome. Hopefully soon.

And “Amen” to sacred Truth, Goodness and Beauty. Alas, certain “smoke” has been allowed to enter the Church, and it isn’t incense. Maybe greater use of sacramentals will aid us in our prayers? (How about some blessed salt sprinkled in the churches accompanied by prayers that we benefit from the prayer of the Church that is attached to such things?
