Attack of the Theocrats!
I use to live in Ireland, which is (and have been for several hundred years) a Catholic stronghold - I sure no one needs reminding of the report a short time ago regarding such luminaries as "The Christian Brothers" et al.
The slogan on the bus is okay as an opening statement, but only if is backup with further adverts that really begin to hit the point home.
I mentioned that I use to live in Ireland as I think such an ad campaign through Dublin, Galway, Cork, Athenry etc would perhaps start people really thinking about exactly what the church does in relation to the stated aims of the church.
Mind you, I'd much rather see news of someone stampeeding cattle through the Vatican (thanks for that wonderful mental image Mel Brooks...)
