Yesterday’s answer:
A The Italian mission
From the re-opening of the Italian mission in
1965: Another program was designed to find the sincerely interested but avoid
those who wanted only to befriend or debate the missionaries and who had no
real interest in conversion. Called “Meet, teach, and baptize in three weeks,”
the plan encouraged missionaries to decide quickly whether to teach a person or
move on to someone else. It operated on the rationale that many people had not
heard the message, there were few missionaries to teach it, and that “the time
was going fast.” Duns stated that some of the impetus for emphasizing
traditional methods and streamlining the teaching process came because
“pressure was being applied by Church headquarters to match the success of
South American missions.” Apparently, senior Church leaders had noticed that
missionary work was moving rapidly among Italians in South America and
concluded the proselytizing in Italy could see similar results.
