You guys are pros at this. Unfortunately Catholics are just learning that they can evangelize.

Almost like Catholics don't think that the Holy Spirit does not work through them, just through Protestants.

It has been a big hurdle to get over for Catholics because we have had the mistaken belief that evangelism is connected to TV or door to door canvasing. Nothing wrong with either of them.

We have been proposing the use of the word "evangelization" instead. And it seems to be working.

God bless! On this one we are united! At least, in my opinion!

I have seen a four minute clip of this movie and it was so powerful it was beyond words. I am not sure I can sit through the entire movie. I believe it will be a very powerful movie. Possibly the most important film of all time.

Bless you, Salvation. This one has got those who love Jesus working together to get the word out (and the tickets into the hands of those who need to see the film).

I'm praying this film can help turn the tide in our country back to God and purity, holiness of life, a nation that longs to do God's will. Turning the nation to Jesus, yes, that is what I'm praying for with Mel's film.

Unfortunately Catholics are just learning that they can evangelize.

Unfortunately, only a very few Catholics are aware of the need for evangelization.

I'm a relatively new Catholic. I became a Catholic solely through my own initiative (which certainly has some benefits). However, during a Mystagogia meeting after becoming a Catholic, I mentioned to the RCIA instructor and the sponsors that I wished that someone in the Church had evangelized me years ago. I got the impression from the response to my comment that evangelization was a concept that was totally foreign to these good people. That's a shame.

If someone had taken the time to explain the truth of the Catholic Church to me years ago, I think I may have converted years ago.

So, where do I sign up to become a Catholic evangelist?
