I have two questions for the panel and one comment.
1. If my church newsletter/bulletin is e-mailed to me, and I don't have a smartphone, what am I supposed to read during the pastors sermon/homily?

2. Is sending newsletters/bulletins by e-mail a plot by pastors to get us listen to their sermons/ homilies?

Comment on people just staying home and watching a service instead of going to church:

This is why we Catholics give out snacks during church. Ever since we started showing masses on TV we have struggled with how to sent Communion wafers along with the cable signal. 20+ years later, we still don't know how to do it, but it keeps people showing up at the actual church building!
