This frightens me... I must say, though, that I like the idea of #6. So, what are you doing this summer Matt??? hahaha....
1. The local priest could visit the circus and traveling show to welcome the entertainers and to celebrate the Mass, with the homily mindful of the people.
2. A special liturgy, memorial service or a paraliturgy may be planned at the local parish or in an appropriate place at the circus or fair grounds, at a time convenient for the people. Posters can be displayed at the circus or fair grounds, inviting the show people to attend.
3. Pastors can organize volunteers to visit show people and assist them in preparing their children for the Sacraments and also invite the children to social gatherings of parish children.
4. Bible or scripture and Catholic information booths can be set up at fairs to interest visitors in learning and knowing more about the Church. Familiarity with the Bible can help show people to grow in faith through contact with the Word of God.
5. Religious sisters can serve in many ways: religious teaching, family help, or just giving witness by their presence and their sharing the life of the people.
6. Seminarians can be involved, through vacation programs, in a special kind of outreach. Show people respond to daily, ordinary friends who work at the same tasks in which they are engaged, and seminarians could provide this friendship.
7. Dioceses should seek the best pastoral means for work among show people.
ah! lol! don't count it out! "Matt, we don't think you should go to IPF... there's a big circus coming to town and...well... we think you'll fit right in" hehe
Ultramontanism is a religious philosophy within the Catholic Church that places strong emphasis on the prerogatives and powers of the pope. In particular, ultramontanism asserts the superiority of Papal authority over the authority of local temporal power.
The term originates in ecclesiastical language from the Middle Ages and means literally "beyond the mountains" (referring to the Alps).
The word was revived after the Protestant Reformation in France. In France, the name "ultramontain" was applied to people who supported papal authority in French political affairs. "The man beyond the mountains" referred to the pope, located in Italy.
Those of an Ultramontanist philosophy take comfort in the retention of doctrinal and disciplinary supremacy by the Roman Pontiff and the Roman Curia which serves and represents him.
