Is This Really What the Early Christians Were Martyred For?

No words. Just this link...

Okay, some words:
Oy. It's all about the show and the numbers. Not to say anything of their sincerity to reach people for Christ, but really? This is false religiosity folks. It's "cool" and "comfortable." This is not the gospel, no matter how you spin it.

Where's Jesus? Where's the sacred? Where the heck are they hiding the cross? Do they even have one?

I prefer a break from the everyday bombardment of culture and entertainment. Most of it's trash anyway.

Thank God for the Catholic Church.

You’re St. Melito of Sardis!

You have a great love of history and liturgy. You’re attached to the traditions of the ancients, yet you recognize that the old world — great as it was — is passing away. You are loyal to the customs of your family, though you do not hesitate to call family members to account for their sins.

Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers!
