dUSt Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Okay, so here's the deal. Phatmass will be doing something pretty soon that will require $3500. It has the potential to be a HUGE evangelization opportunity. We're talking about reaching a large Protestant audience with a solid Catholic message. I can't get in to specifics right now, but I'm really excited about it. So, any ideas on how to raise the money? I was thinking about putting up a meter on the homepage and updating it every night with what has been raised so far. I was also thinking about getting at least 25 phatmassers to donate $1 each with a promise of each of them to get 5 other people to donate $1 each, with a promise of [b]them[/b] to get 5 people to donate $1 each, and finally, a promise that those people will each get 5 people. lol $25 $125 $625 $3125 ---------- Goal reached.

I was thinking of both apologetics stuff like Catholic Answers, but also spiritual stuff and theological things like what the Franciscans of the Immaculate do.. I dunno.. It would be phly if phatmassers like Fr. Pontifex, cappie, phatcatholic, etc. wrote short booklets about stuff and we could get the Imprimatur somehow.. And we phatmassers could drop the edification-related tracts on chapels in our area and use the apologetics ones to give to people in appropriate situations.

But I do think it would be phat if someone handed me a Jack Chick tract and I was like, ok, now here's a phatmass tract for you to peep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Funny y'all say that because it's one of my goals to start publishing things. One of the first things I was going to have was downloadable tracts that will aid parishioners to fight liturgical abuses at their parishes--in a very polite and friendly manner of course.

People buy that carp. You could call it "Phatcook" and include recipe submissions from all of us. I actually started compiling all the recipes from the recipe thread.

I've been studying recent Church documents and stuff specifically to write tracts for that exact purpose! If I ever finish one I'll send you what I've got and hopefully it will be your style.
