American Fatwa Revisited: "It's Not a Business, It's a Ministry" (AAs Still Not Included)

[mimus]

NEW FRANKEN, Wis. (AP)-- A Catholic priest has removed his church's
organist and choir director from her duties saying her sale of sex toys
was not "consistent with Church teachings."

Linette Servais, 50, played the organ and sung with the choir for 35
years. Much of her work as choir director and organist was done without
pay. When her parish priest asked to meet with her, she thought it was to
say thank you.

Instead, she was told to quit her sales job with company known as Pure
Romance or she would lose her position in the church.

Pure Romance in Loveland, Ohio, is a $60 million per year business that
sells spa products and sex toys at homes parties attended by women. It
has 15,000 consultants like Servais.

She said her decision was not hard: She began working with Pure Romance
after a brain tumor and treatment left her sexually dysfunctional. The
job allows her to help other women who have similar problems.

"After I got over the initial shock, I prayed over this a long time," she
said. "I feel that Pure Romance is my ministry."

That's the whole reason - parties attended by WOMEN. Can't let women have
any sexual pleasure after all! If the parties had been for males then
reverend fuckface would have become a customer instead. Oh wait, does that
company sell altar boy sex dolls?

Not many Christian leaders in the USA have their shit together, but I think that
Jim Wallis does.

Not being a practicing Christian myself, I find Wallis's moderate opinions to be
a breath of fresh air when it comes to the nonsense we've become use to seeing
through the likes of the "Religious Right" aka "Christian Taliban".
