Jesus and religion

/ 12 January 2012

Here’s a powerful spoken word poem that is making the rounds of facebook:

It’s clearly Protestant in theology, with production values strong enough that I’m having a hard time finding a similarly powerful Catholic piece. Anyone out there have some examples? I’d like to find one that takes seriously the communal character of Christian life, with an emphasis on social justice. While I appreciate much of what this young man is saying, it falls too much into the individualist mode for me to really want to use it as a stand alone.
