"Generally speaking, Catholics do not like to have non-Catholics try to get them to leave their faith,"
Interesting Chicago Tribune article on the intrusion of suburban Protestant megachurches into traditionally Catholic urban areas.

While I’m thinking of it, I must brag about my Charles’ willingness to take a “spiritual bullet” for Rick and me by telling the Jehovah’s Witnesses that we “weren’t available.” (I don’t think you could really consider that a lie. Spiritually speaking , we weren’t available for the Witnesses. I didn’t really want my session with The New Yorker interrupted, either.) I was sitting upstairs reading when I heard Chuck head them off before they rang the door bell. He was quite polite as he responded that, yes, indeed, he had heard the word of the Lord. And quickly retreated into the house.

"We're trying to get unreachable people, the ones who are burned out, disgusted and haven't been to church for years," said Escobar, the bongo player. Maybe they should be trolling the pages of the latest Chicago Magazine. The institutional Church herself is quite favorably reported upon. The Opus Dei supernumerary had a bigger, better picture than Barbara Blaine. (The better to see that he wasn’t a homicidal albino. No offense intended to any albinos.) But the average Joe Catholics in the street came across as rather poorly catechized and lackadaisical. You know, the not uncommon “love the Church, just don’t have time for Mass but I’m sure it’s all good with Jesus.”
