Behind the scenes...

I love TheCall. I love what it stands for and how it does it. I also love the off beat things that happen back stage....

We had a large contingency of Catholics join us in California - more than any other event. We also had a Catholic Bishop lead in prayer late in the afternoon. He was a very pleasant little Mexican fellow who patiently waited behind the stage, enduring our multiple schedule shifts until it was his turn.

A few minutes before he went on, he motioned for me to come down off the stage. When I did, he shouted in my ear over the sound of the band. Between the accent and his collar, all I could think of was Nacho Libre.

He said "Dey ask me to not pray to de saints, and not to pray de rosary..."

I nod, not quite sure where this is going. He continues....

"Is it ok if I cast out de devils and bind dem to hell?"

I don't remember what I said exactly, but I assured him that he was correct. No to saints and the rosary, thumbs up to casting out devils and binding them to hell.

That's good theology right there.
