At Least It’s Not A Mass Exodus
A German priest's flock grew threefold after he offered them money to attend Mass. Father Burkhard Westphal handed out envelopes containing five euros (about $7.50) to people who came to Mass at his Collinghorst church. The usual attendance is about 60, but 189 turned up on Sunday when word spread. Westphal said most people had put the money back during the collection.

I'm not quite sure what point the Priest was trying to make, but should he decide to do this again during the Easter Season, wouldn't you call it Greasing the Palms?
Now that takes 'fellowshiping' to a whole new level! Honestly!
I can't decide if this is a good or bad thing........
Alternate Footnote:
A euro prayed is a euro earned!

Altar Bouy, that's cute! A little more attendance would bouy the church!
What was the point of that then? I think that priest has got his head in the clouds...
Now that 's what you call Mass Appeal.
Find the synopsis of your book very interesting. Hope to get a copy.
