ToJesusMyHeart Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 :sad: I'm pretty sure at the Last Supper Jesus did not wave a lightsaber in front of the apostles to keep them attentive... Clearly you were not there. Don't make such rash assumptions about what Jesus did or did not do at the table. WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, ANYWAY, HUH?! :P :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basilisa Marie Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 If you need Star Wars to grab the attention of first communion kids, there's a serious problem with the way someone is doing catechesis, and someone severely underestimates the ability of kids to understand the Eucharist and take the Eucharist seriously. It reduces the Eucharist to a cheap trick, and that's not fair to the kids, let alone Christ. And what happens if someone doesn't like Star Wars, or feels like they've grown out of Star Wars? It doesn't provide a solid foundation for a life-long faith. Instead, why not save the "Star Wars" theme for Vacation Bible School and talk about the Eucharistic connections then? You'd probably even get some Protestant kids wanting to come! It's not that it's a bad idea, it's that it's execution is inappropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I think that amesome! It will grab the attention of our younger people Then a few years down the road, when the cheap gimmicks no longer work, the teenagers start to see through the silliness and want something more. Now they have been brought up to think that they are supposed to be entertained at Mass. That someone is supposed to make it 'relevant'. But the gimmicks stop working and they do not feel entertained. They do not feel like it is 'relevant'. So what do they do? Mostly they stop coming to church. I went through the Catholic school system. The enormous majority of students do not practice anymore, if they ever did. Why? How is a soi disant Catholic system failing so miserably at instilling Catholic values? I will not leave that one rhetorical this time. The reason is that the whole approach, which is represented in this Star Wars crap, has utterly failed, yet not everyone has gotten the message yet. Star Wars and balloons pass for legitimate catechesis, and Table of Plenty and twelve string guitars pass for sacred music. No wonder kids do not stay Catholic. They have never been exposed to Catholicism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
