"Just as Keanu Reeves fought against the powers of evil, a priest comes to help people fight against sin. There is a battle out there," explained Father Jonathan Meyer, associate director of youth and young adult ministry for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis.
And so begins the Catholic church's newest attempt at recruiting for the priesthood. Father Meyer, explains:
"Today's seminarian," he said, "is engaged with the world but is also committed to orthodoxy, like (Pope) John Paul II."
Somehow, I don't think Papa Juan Pablo Dos saw the Matrix. I do think, however, that he would have appreciated the "big tae kwan do number," set to music from the Matrix, performed to distribute 500 of the posters at a high school rally. After all, we all know PJPII was a fan of poppin' and lockin'.
