I have an issue that has been bothering me for a long time. In the local shopping plaza a store sells merchandise made by poor people from across the globe. Most of the money from the purchase of the merchandise is sent back to the artists that make the items. I frequented the store and bought mostly jugs with faces on them. (I love faces, another post)
After awhile I noticed that nothing was from people in the USA. I spoke with the manager of the store and asked if they would be able to get any Native American items . ( I really like Native American History) She said no that was not possible. I asked why and her reply shocked me. She said "well because most are not Catholic" I did not realize that the store only supported Catholic artisans.
I have stopped shopping at the store. It really burns me that this store pretends to help the world's poor by providing a place for people to sell their merchandise. The store forgets to mention that if you are not Catholic, then you can not sell your merchandise in the store. I hate sneakiness and deception.

I thought all catholics were rich.
I mean the churches are full of gold and art and stuff. So they're really leaving out a lot of information. I wouldn't shop there either.
i don't blame you
a neighbor recently had a baby, she was going to deliver at a local catholic hospital (mercy gilbert) until she realized that they WOULD NOT perform the procedure to tie her tubes. catholics and the whole birth control thing.
it makes me wonder ... do they screen people in the emergency room ... are you catholic? we can't help you ... oh have a life threatening condition? we won't save your life because we don't believe in that procedure
stupid stupid stupid things are done in the name of religion
Jesus just read that story, and his head exploded. The Pope read it, too, but he's cool with it.
