ASHINGTON (CNS) -- "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.

He made the comments in an interview with Catholic News Service about a new vocations recruitment poster being distributed by his archdiocese.

The poster, which is modeled after an advertisement for the movie "The Matrix," is the brainchild of Father Meyer. It features a priest in full cassock -- and the requisite Roman collar -- holding a cross in one hand and a rosary in the other. And he is wearing sunglasses.


This vocations poster was the brainchild of Father Jonathan Meyer, associate director of youth and young adult ministry for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis.

I think this is cool. Priests and other members of the clergy should be treated as heros. They don't go into this because it's an easy job.

I'm Episcopalian but on my mothers side fo the family two of her brothers married Catholics. One of my aunts had a sister who was a Sister. Every Nun or Priest I've met was thourally dedicated to their faith. Such dedication deserves recognitation. Kudos for the Priests and Nuns.
