You have to admit, this is genius.
There is a lot to say about all this, but to be honest I said prior to the Bailouts and during the "pennies-a-share" period with Ford that they would be back. I grew up in Dearborn, Michigan. I was never a Ford "fan". I just liked GM/Chevy styling, and preferred Jeep products over anything Ford put out. Yet from a principle standpoint I get this commercial and agree with it.
a Catholic press conference?
°°°†°°°
What if some of our Bishops held a press conference like this? What if they came up to the microphone at Mass and said:
"Contraception is a sin - it distorts marriage, our souls, and our way of life. Masturbation is a similar sin. There cannot be women priests, just like there can't be a round square. We need to stop using gimmicks in our prayer life and start going to Adoration and praying the Rosary. Abortion is wrong - always. You must go to Mass, every Sunday. Mortal Sin will send you to Hell and there is a Devil. Confession and the Mercy of Christ make sin and the devil distant memories."
Sometimes just speaking the truth is jarring enough to get people to realize the situation we are in. Charity, in the Catholic sense, isn't equivalent to being non-offensive, Charity should be about love and the SALVATION OF SOULS. We wouldn't refrain from yelling at a child about to touch a hot stove so that we don't offend them, instead we yell, because we love them. It is time for us as Catholics to stop pulling punches.
