Would rap music get the young people back to mass?

I cant help but notice two things. One of them of them is is that the young people love them rappers and yet dont mass at all. So ive been thinkin should we do like theyve done in parts of America and incorprated the rap into the mass. That way we might get a few young people to come back to mass. What do you think?

Rifles at their heads wouldn't get young people back to mass now they know the Irish Catholic Church for the bunch of child-raping hypocritical headbangers that they are.

(Apologies to actual headbangers for the comparison.)

No, but free iPods might.

GLaDOS · 01-12-2010 03:11AM

I hate rap and mass, makes it easier for me to avoid so

scientific1982 · 01-12-2010 03:12AM

Cringe.

KeithM89_old · 01-12-2010 03:12AM

Coke and Hookers would barely get me to go to mass again... barely

WindSock · 01-12-2010 03:12AM

No, sure don't they try the same with rock &/ roll. It only appeals to already young regular going churchie charlies, rather than convert / coax n00bs.

I'm afraid the institution of the church is damaged way beyond repair for many young people. 4Chan memes are their religion now.

figarofigaro · 01-12-2010 03:13AM

Jesus Christ ain't nuthin ta fuck wit.

bronte · 01-12-2010 03:19AM

No. Religion is shyte.

alwaysadub · 01-12-2010 03:20AM

No. Not all young people love rap.

So i've been informed anyway- i'm not young enough to know these things.

Brendog · 01-12-2010 03:22AM

I got 99 problems but my faith ain't one?

ascanbe · 01-12-2010 03:26AM

I love 'the rap' meself. The catholic church have already reached out in that regard:

I don't go to mass on moral grounds anymore - and we'll say nothing about the just not wanting to waste my time either because it's a bit of a waste of time

Unless they gave me free money or some similarly good incentive to go I wouldn't and it's actually as simple as that

I have an iPod if I want rap (which I personally don't) but I can't see the young people who like rap wanting to go to mass because there's a priest saying the Hail Mary in a rap voice :rolleyes:)

WindSock · 01-12-2010 03:38AM

Can't say there is much of a difference between the two; A load of men wearing bling, barking orders and hatin' on their bitches.

The ridiculous premise of the thread and the fact the poster has decided to name himself 'FF and proud', gives me the impression that this is probably the work of a troll.

Mass lol.

javaboy · 01-12-2010 03:53AM

I think country music is a better fit for the Bible. Look at all the suffering Jaysus went through. It's perfect for a country song... cept instead of his dog dying and is no good woman leaving him, he got betrayed by one friend, denied by another, forsaken by his daddy and nailed bloody and beaten to die on a cross by the people he was trying to help. Makings of a great country number I'm telling ya.

Supercell · 01-12-2010 03:58AM

No, bowing and scraping to anyone is bollix even with fancy music.

Degag · 01-12-2010 04:04AM

I don't go to mass because i have better things to do with my time than hearing the same sh!te every week.

javaboy · 01-12-2010 04:04AM

Don't eat pork. Not even with a fork. You can't touch this!

Some very good Christian rap songs.

Less rap. More of this

Raze_them_all · 01-12-2010 04:34AM

Is nobody going to comment on the op wanting to get young people back to mass??? Not enough eye candy eh op?

Mozoltov! · 01-12-2010 04:42AM

"Fúck this shít I aint goin' to mass. You don' like it? Well, go kiss ma little white ass."

Yeah, it's kinda easier to rap hatefully....

Elohim · 01-12-2010 08:52AM

Well if the priest started with:
"I said a hip, a hop, the hippie, the hippie
To the hip hip hop, a you dont stop
The rock it to the bang bang boogie say up jumped the boogie
To the rhythm of the boogie"

before the first reading it'd make a nice change to the stand/kneel/seated stuff.

"But first I gotta bang bang the boogie to the boogie
Say up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie
Let's rock, you don't stop
Rock the rhythm that will make your body rock
Well, so far you've heard my voice but I brought two friends along
And next on the mike is my man Hank:
Come on, Hank, sing that song"

and then Hank comes along with some phat Psalm. That'd get people to go to mass i think.

javaboy · 01-12-2010 10:25AM

Actually the message of forgiveness in rapper's delight after the unfortunate dinner verse is very Christian. Pope approves.

punchdrunk · 01-12-2010 10:33AM

where would it end though? Drive-by baptisms on the streets of Compton Crumlin?

smellslikeshoes · 01-12-2010 10:33AM

Young people don't avoid mass because they think it's uncool they don't go to mass because they know it's all rubbish.

Free iPad might get me in for 1-2 masses but that is pushing it.

Would rap music get the young people back to mass?
