Ever since I sent in a donation to Catholic Relief Services for Haitian earthquake relief I have been besieged with letters from Catholic organizations promising me all sorts of “blessed” gifts if I make a donation to them.

***Do you have examples?***

No, I just toss them in the trash along with the outdoor magazines promising a wonderful gift if I subscribe to their magazine.

I did write to a non-Catholic denomination for some informantion and ten years later they are still sending me requests for money, so it is not a Catholic Only thing.

Interesting. I find that many so-called Catholic organizations are hucksters of the first rank and transcend religious beliefs. There are many of them that are being prosecuted right now and hopefully be bunged into jail in the Bernie Madoff wing of their local federal pen.
