ultima - the fighting fundie of Catholicism! (This is an observation, not a criticism)

Your comments reminded me of Protestant fundamentalists taking Billy Graham stadium crusades to task. However, with Graham Crusades there is a follow up plan to interview and counsel and disciple people who indicate an increased interest in spiritual things at the crusade.

I wonder if there was any follow-up planned for this event. I have served as a Graham crusade counselor supervisor and am familiar with the preparation and follow up they do.

Bump your remarks. Thanks for the feedback of knowledge. I do believe the girl was sincerely touched by meeting the Pope just as many have been touched by meeting Billy Graham personally.

Plus the excitement of being at a seminar, crusade or World Youth Day in person.

I'm more like a gadfly than a Catholic fundie, I think. I have no idea how these rallies work. From what I read, they can get out of hand. But then there are those, like the parent above whose son came back home talking about catechesis. Of course, my next thought was--what's in that catechisis? It's a question Novus Ordo churchmen don't consider too important anymore.
