    We need more marriages... More love. Maybe more wine.

    As I mentioned in another discussion, there has been a true Catholic revival across Brazil. Last year, the most-watched streamer in the country was a Carmelite friar and preacher who prays the Rosary daily at 4:00 a.m. alongside millions of people. Even celebrities have been willing to take part in this spiritual practice. A few years ago, such a scenario would have seemed highly unlikely, especially since many people viewed the Rosary as a tiring prayer, more associated with the elderly.

    In light of all this, I think it’s fair to say that televangelism and online streaming tools have been essential to the Catholic renewal in Brazil. I hope that something similar will one day take place in the United States and throughout Europe.
