LOL. Good one bro. I think I had to pay for my scapular and missal, so why not plaques and replicas too? Sounds like an entrepreneur in the making. 😀

Nope, your scapular was free, your missal,on thee other hand, could have been a gift or you could have purchased it from a book store,,,missals, Bibles, etc. are usually not free.

It's been decades since I had my scapular, so I don't remember if it cost anything. They told me it had magical powers, so if I died while wearing it, I would get a free pass to Heaven.
Some people might believe that. I certainly don't. The priests and nuns told us it was ok to have a Bible, but to make sure we let a priest interpret it for us. I was such a terrible Catholic, I enjoyed committing mortal sins. I was a very rebellious Catholic. I usually did the opposite of what I was told, so when they told me not to read it and interpret for myself, what do you suppose was the first thing I did? I read the Bible, and interpreted it for myself. I never paid attention in Catechism class much. I was more interested in looking at the girls, and thinking about going out to play hockey.
Then those great and wonderful Navigators came along and told me I was perfectly justified in being my own pope.
The next thing I knew, I left the OTC, and I am happy as heck about that. I do not plan to bluff my way into Heaven, like some others are. I wouldn't name any names, however, but those who are trying to bluff their way into Heaven, KMOW who they are. 😇
