I realize this event can be situated in the great tradition of American Christian circuit preachers and revivalists. I also realize that the Catholic Church has a great tradition of itinerant preachers. And St. Peter's Church, which it is sponsoring and benefiting from the event, seems to be concerned with the corporal and spiritual works of mercy--so it's a worthy cause, IMHO.Nonetheless, the little cartoon at the top of the advertisement sent a little chill down my spine: a soldier/priest in an alb with a gun. Or is it a cross? Or is it a cross meant to look like a gun?It's bedtime. I'm afraid I am going to have to sing "Kumbaya" just to get that image out of my head. Sorry, Bob Imbelli and Kathy.
