Thanks to the Claretian Fathers in the Philippines, you can download a Powerpoint-format presentation of the readings in the Sunday liturgy. Here’s how this week’s looks when converted to HTML pages for the web. I’m impressed to see the missionaries of our day using modern technology to express the Word of God with such tasteless and unattractive results.

PowerPoint can be a powerful and effective presentation tool, and in this age of multimedia and short attention spans, it could really be a boon to those trying to grab the attention of more people with their message. However, too many users of the program get carried away by all the “bells and whistles” that come with it, and they become a distraction to the viewer. There’s even an e-book available on Amazon.com entitled _Really Bad PowerPoint_.
