Awesome Catholic Commercial

For a long time I always loved the way the Church of Latter Day Saints promoted their faith. Every time I would see one of their commercials I thought "Why doesn't the Catholic Church do that?"

Well, my brother Charles made me aware of a great Catholic Commercial on the Catholic Come Home.Org website. I've included some screen shots below.

The commercial does a great job of promoting all of the wonderful things that the Church has done over the last 2000 years. It's so easy in this sound-bite generation to get distracted and lose sight of history. It's easy to think of the horrendous sex abuse scandal first before thinking of the saintly acts of many priest predecessors.

This commercial brings to light all the Church has brought, and continues to bring, the world population.

You can watch the video by clicking on this Catholic Come Home link.

They have a link to donate to get these television commercials on the air. Its time for good Catholics to pony up to spread the faith. Catholics are notoriously cheap with their tithing... If memory serves, on average Catholics tithe 1% of their salary while Protestants average around 8%. Let's get off our collective buttocks and get these commercials out there!
