How did 10,000 members get to be a mega-church? That should be a kilo-church. And the Catholic Church would be a giga-church.

Haha that’s 10,000 people at one location

although my Protestant friend in high school did refer to my Catholic parish as a megachurch

Her evangelical church had 50 people lol

Born and raised in the mega church Protestant world.

The problem with the show is the principle that says, “what you use to get them you have to sustain to keep them”.

So experiences changed based on current cultural trends.

After 3 decades of this, Protestant churches are shifting their style back to localized smaller bodies with less “show”.

It’s unfortunate the Catholic Church is 30 years behind Protestant movement in learning this lesson.

I’ve been in the CCR for two decades. I used to want a Catholic version of the megachurch model, but I’ve done a complete 180. There are things we can learn from them, but we’re not meant to copy their spectacle.

Catholics need to stop thinking about evangelicals at all except as people who need evangelized.
