Dutch priest to display photos of Church quitters

[Pinay]

Hey guys ! what do you think about this ?  



A Roman Catholic priest in the Netherlands is to put on display the names and photographs of parish members trying to leave the Church in a bid to get them to stay.



"This is a large parish, and I don't know everyone: by putting up the photos I thought someone might recognise someone they know who they could try to make stay in the Church," priest Harm Schilder told AFP on Tuesday.



Many Catholics in the liberal Netherlands were shocked by Pope Benedict XVI's Christmas call to "fight" gay marriage, which the Netherlands was the first country to legalise in 2001.



Schilder said that he had received four requests to leave the Church around Christmas.



"This isn't about pointing a finger, naming and shaming," said Schilder, insisting that the plan would help the community pray for these people not to leave the Church and perhaps "persuade them to stay".



Those wishing to leave must send a letter to the priest along with a photocopy of identity papers.



This is where Schilder gets the photos that will be displayed in the entrance hallway of the church in Tilburg in the south of the country.

I would be upset if my name and face were displayed anywhere without my permission.
