“Faith” and catholic are not terms that mix well.

There are many Catholic clergy and nuns and monks who own and Use firearms. Don’t judge all by the actions of a few.

Had an Aunt that wore that uniform, she could shoot to, (raised in a family of hunters and outdoors people).
She was also as hard as KRUPP STEEL.

Thanks for that list of Catholic outfits. I’ve never contributed to any of them, and I won’t contribute in the future.

Now, solely out of my great sense of principle, I am ethically compelled to now purchase an S&W product. Thinking of that seven shot 357 revolver. A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.

Smith & Wesson should buy 200 shares in the Catholic Church
========================

You can't buy shares in the Church, but if you make a generous donation, you might get a reach-around.
