buzzoff1031 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Okay, my favorite band in the world is Korn. Brian "Head" Welch became a Christian several years ago. Fieldy also became a Christian a few years ago. Also, A lot of the popular Christian music and awesome study Bibles are protestant. This has at times made me want to just be a "non-denominational" Christian. But, of course, I know that the Catholic Church is the TRUE Church. And of course, now that I've found this site, I've found some great music! But what about the celebs and cool Bibles and whatnot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resurrexi Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 The Catholic Church does get all the cool Christians: the Gregorian Chanters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzoff1031 Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 I hope this topic doesn't come across as too shallow. I just think that, although Truth should speak for itself, we have a responsibility to try to reach all that we can for the True Church, like it seems as though protestant Christianity does.

missionarybelle Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 i have wondered why there are so many more really cool protestant Bibles. but it's not enough reason for me to stop being Catholic : p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzoff1031 Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 No. It isn't. But for someone who, like myself until recently, is fairly impressionable, these "cool things" make for a very compelling magnet. I mean, the "cool" Bibles, music, and people one the protestant side of the isle make things easy to be "Christian" without necessarily having the Truth. The only group in the world that has the fullness of the Truth is the Holy Catholic Church. We should have at least as much "cool stuff" as the "other guys."

Resurrexi Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Catholicism has all the cool things: monks, old books, obscure saints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homeschoolmom Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Well, I understand.... A lot of the "cool" homeschool curriculum is Protestant. I did finally find some "cool" Catholic kids Bibles, though. There are not nearly enough children's/young teen's Catholic bible study materials though... not by a longshot.

cmotherofpirl Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 The Church doesn't play to target audiences - it offers the same deal to everyone - the church and sacraments founded by Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groo the Wanderer Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Personally, I think the 'cool' Bibles are those with ALL the books in them..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are (not nearly enough) parish youth groups, elderly care group, ministries to the sick and poor, neighborhood prayer ministries... many audiences are targeted.
