Pilgrims see Eucharistic Congress as a response to ‘lukewarm’ Catholicism
For five days in mid-July, the streets of downtown Indianapolis were painted with the different colors of American Catholicism.
There were Guadalupanos, Latin Mass-going “trads,” aspiring Catholic influencers, Baby Boomer retirees, cassock-wearing seminarians, youth group kids, charismatics, pro-life activists, and perhaps most strikingly, an army of baby strollers being pushed by couples with young children.
“It’s nothing compared to anything that I’ve ever seen before,” said Arianna Rodriguez, 20, who came with a small group from St. Isaac Jogues Church in Orlando, Florida.
