The Church Embraces Inflation

Yes, I'm Absolutely Shore

Sunbathers can now get closer to God without having to bother getting dressed. A "bouncy church" - which takes just five minutes to inflate - is on the Adriatic coast and comes complete with an altar and confessional booth. The Catholic church is trying to counteract the holiday effect of the Italian summer.

Oh, that's going a bit too far. They should be happy if the parishioners just "wave" as they walk past on their way to the beach.

I figure the beach is about as good a temple as you can find on its own.

(Man, I have to say these word verification things are SUCH a pain. I'm now attempting my third time to post by typing in a new combination.)

Who wants to confess on holiday?!

The mind boggles...

Surely, if people are likely to attend church on holiday, they will go to church? I can't see how an inflatable church will help.
