slushpuppy Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Take a look at this [url="http://youtube.com/watch?v=NoEfp2eEA1c"]http://youtube.com/watch?v=NoEfp2eEA1c[/url] I found this video on youtube and wanted to bring it to the attention of my friends here. Does anyone think this is effective preaching? Do you think anyone in this church took this guy seriously? Honestly, I wonder, what was the point of this? I would find this offensive even if I wasn't Catholic. It is interesting though, it seems most born again christians who have left comments do not have an issue with this style of preaching. Thank you for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahB Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 The guy says in his comments that his style of preaching works......I'd like to see proof of that. I seriously doubt it. I'm all for preaching the Gospel, but a Catholic Church definately isn't the right place to do it. You guys already have the Gospel. And if he wasn't so busy screaming, maybe he'd realize that.

Mateo el Feo Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 What a very un-Christian guy, casting judgments against people he doesn't even know! It was nice that his voice was drowned out with "Alleluia". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slushpuppy Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 He was also preaching outside the Mormon Temple in Nauvoo. I wonder if he tried to run inside the temple to perform the same stunt lol. I guess Mormons have better security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excelsior1027 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I feel sorry for the priest; he underwent some very severe and uncalled for insults from that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autumn Dusk Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Does anyone know where that church is, its modern but it looks vaguely familiar.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanctitasDeo Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 That guy was obnoxious. I would honestly be surprised if he gets the sort of results he claims. I have never found that shouting at people persuades them to do anything but ignore me. [quote]He was also preaching outside the Mormon Temple in Nauvoo.

Archaeology cat Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Yeah, couldn't really watch more than a few seconds of it. Brought back memories of my SBC church, as the preacher there preached in this style. I basically learnt to tune it out pretty quickly, because really, people don't like to be yelled at. The best was when I heard a preacher yelling Psalm 23. Loses a bit of the meaning that way. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alabaster Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 This video is pretty sad. He shows no respect whatsoever. How could someone interrupt a Mass like this and expect people to listen to him? Some people really amaze me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fides quarens intellectum Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 the only thing i could understand was a man in the background (the priest?) asking someone to go get the guy's lisence plate number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
