It’s hard to know whether to laugh or cry at the news out of Atlanta that the Bishops of the United States are going to spend the hard earned money of United States Catholics for an image makeover and an “always available” spokesperson.
We’re not kidding, here are the links:
Reuters – “Bishops Plan PR Campaign to Soften Image” LINK
Los Angeles Times – “Perhaps We Need Help with PR, Say Catholic Bishops in the US,” LINK
Does anything say counter cultural better than having your very own public relations guy or gal?
We imagine the logo behind the Bishops’ eternally on call presence at a podium will be “In PR We Trust” superimposed on a cathedral cupola edged in lace, of course.
“ We need someone who is going to be able to strategize this better for us,” said Bishop William Murphy of the Diocese of Rockville Centre in Long Island, N.Y.
Drum roll, please for the understatement of the decade.
