Projector Screens at Mass - Why not?

Sponsor: https://www.fishersnetwork.com

I know that for many people, whether we should use projector screens or not at a Catholic mass is a trivial thing, it’s not the kind of thing that should cause divisions and debate, but if you take at least one moment to think about the implications of this dilemma, I hope you’ll see why it’s not just some trivial complaint, but actually a symptom of a much more serious concern in the #Church today – and therefore, worth spending some time talking about.

The #Catholic mass claims to be a re-presentation of the sacrifice of #Jesus Christ for our sins where he becomes truly present – God walks onto the stage and invites us to worship him and be united to that sacrifice by consuming his body, blood, soul and divinity in the #eucharist.

That’s a pretty serious thing, so whatever we do to accessorize or “enhance” that occasion in the #liturgy isn’t something we should take lightly. And the Church, in her teachings, does not take such considerations lightly – which is why we shouldn’t either.

It has been explained to me that this will significantly improve participation at mass. So, the problem we see is that people aren’t participating at least in obvious ways – they aren’t singing along or reciting the responses and prayers like they’re supposed to.

So are theatre-sized #screens at #mass the answer?
