    Have you read the Vatican II documents?

    Inter Mirifica is the Second Vatican Council’s Decree on the Media of Social Communications. It was approved by a vote of 1,960 to 164 of the bishops assembled, and promulgated on December 4, 1963 by Pope Paul VI. The title, taken from the first line of the document (as is customary with significant Catholic documents), is Latin for “Among the Wonderful”.

    The term Social Communication or Social Communications, apart from its more general use, has become the preferred term within documents of the Catholic Church for reference to media or mass media. It has the advantage, as a term, of wider connotation – all communication is social but not all communication is “mass”. In effect, though, the two terms are used synonymously.

    What you are claiming is being done is not a new idea….but in accord with Church Teaching. Bless you.

    Let us know how it works. Sounds like a good idea.

    At least the Indians are not going to be preaching that God has to be appeased with blood sacrifice, so it might be quite effective to have others pray in their place.

    Your local church sucks. Stop attending, and stop giving them money.
    Jesus told his followers to pray directly to God. So do it.
