Confessional Car

Maybe Dan Lacey wasn't so far off the mark in this faithmouse cartoon:

The Madonna's True Confessional Tour

It turns out that according to a report by Catholic World News that Aid for the Church in Need has come up with just that idea. According to the article: "Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) will send a specially designed minibus known as the “confessional car” to a tourism fair in Essen, Germany, in February.

Father Hermann-Joseph Hubka of ACN will introduce the vehicle, which was made to fit the needs of vacationers seeking the sacrament of Penance."

"Plans to introduce the "confessional car" at a tourism exhibition were announced on the same day that the Pontifical Council for Migrants released a report encouraging new pastoral strategies to address the needs of travelers."

Actually, this isn't such a bad idea. Jesus went to where the sinners were to call them to repentance. This is a good way to do the same. Reaching out to people where they are at & bringing them back to Jesus. Jesus did say go into the whole world to preach the Gospel. This is a way to use modern technology to do so.
