God in the Streets of London

I believe it is a wonderful idea to get together with all the southern dioceses and take Jesus to the streets of London on Corpus Christi to pray for vocations to the Sacred Priesthood. Any others think we should try and pull this off? We could invite those going to WYD 2011 to join the procession!!!

There is a wonderful FLICKR PHOTO ALBUM of the event on-line but nothing else - what's wrong with you people?
A great opportunity to proclaim the Gospel and the Church being missed.; 30 March 2011 19:09

"I was once, five or six years ago, taken by some friends to have dinner with Mary McCarthy and her husband, Mr. Broadwater... She departed the Church at the age of 15 and is a Big Intellectual. We went at eight and at one, I hadn't opened my mouth once, there being nothing for me in such company to say... Having me there was like having a dog present who had been trained to say a few words but overcome with inadequacy had forgotten them. Well, toward morning the conversation turned on the Eucharist, which I, being the Catholic, was obviously supposed to defend. Mrs. Broadwater said when she was a child and received the host, she thought of it as the Holy Ghost, He being the most portable person of the Trinity; now she thought of it as a symbol and implied that it was a pretty good one. I then said, in a very shaky voice, Well, if it's a symbol, to hell with it. That was all the defense I was capable of but I realize now that this is all I will ever be able to say about it, outside of a story, except that it is the center of existence for me; all the rest of life is expendable."
