Beer mat ads to recruit priests

What in the world is the good cardinal thinking? Heathens would have no problem with a 'beer mat' (we generally call them 'coasters' on this side of the Big Pond) depicting say, a Thor's Hammer, or a Raven or even a Valknut. Compared to the denizens of Yahweh's heaven, our guys (and gals) are positive party animals! But were I a Christian, especially one devout enough to be considering a priesthood, methinks I might be a trifle offended to lift my brewski only to reveal a crucifix and a come on for a seminary!

The Catholic Church is to address the problem of declining priest numbers by advertising on beer mats.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
