[Mad Dawg]

I think the critical point for boatbums is that praying to the saints in heaven sounds to her like conjuring. And we do have to admit that there are a lot of those newspaper advertisements to St. Jude (or whoever) that seem to say if you pray this prayer and then buy an advertisement you will get what you pray for.

So it's not surprising that some would conclude that we peddle cheap magic. We have to live and to teach to counter-act by word and example the superstitious teaching of such folks.

[Not gonna take it anymore]

Mad Dawg it’s a lot like the people who want the St. Joseph statue to bury upside in order to sell their house.

I have realtors who are not Catholic come into my store to buy one for their clients.

Is is superstition? Yep, you bet it is.

I just ask them to treat this with respect and remember to unbury the statue when their house sells.

I also tell them not to even think about asking a priest to bless this.
