Glad to hear that plastic boxes and bowls with Saran wrap are not abuses, but only field expediency for mega-promo-events and all quite normal for such mega-promo-events where it is the event which really matters, and that it was only exhuberance of the carnival crowd at a carnival and slight lack oversight and logistics for the state fair. Nobody has talked about the rides. Surely there were rides, like the Ascension roller coaster.
That makes it all better. Everyone knows true religious experience is best obtained in a Woodstock atmosphere presided over by rock star popes.
While it would seem that in the majority of cases there was no sacrilege, the logistics and distances....I don't know, this just doesn't sound like the ideal for divine worship. One could argue we've exhausted this topic, I don't know what else to say. It's such a departure from the norm, E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E is going to have conflicting opinions.
Well, it's symptomatic of a deeper problem...no spiritual life where that lack is not apparent to those runnimg things, as they lack it themselves...
and so they see the problem as a marketing problem where the solution is another marketing attempt, whether WYD or Eucharistic Congress, only accessible to the wealthiest or those nearby, where it is a show to put on and photo ops galore, and press coverage which matters...
and not much different at the parish level, cameras and tripods at solemn religious rites, photos published instantly, effects on the spiritual sensibilities among participants utterly ignored, because what really matters is show-time.
