and sell cards to the congregation. Does this seem strange to you? I am not complaining, though. I won fifty dollars last sunday picking 6 right numbers. Glory be to Jesus.

Thet have Hooter girls at my place of worship. We pin dollar bills on them like they do on the Madonna during the Italian Festival. They even carry their own portable dance poles. (For that I give a 5'er.)
Next up: The Pope goes to Mount Olive and Popeye beats the crap outta him.

Well, since the promotion of Bingo and Keno at most denominations, it only seems to be an excellent marketing idea to throw a little "sin" (church approved of course) into the fund raising basket.
My priest has been in the forefront of creative ways to help pay for the law suits incurred by, shall we say, "friendly" priests.
Morning mass has the Wheel of Sin contest. One has the option to donate $5.00 and hopefully spin to the big ticket slot. Absolution! No confession required!
Morning mass has never been so popular.
Evening mass has had to be a little more creative. Of course the Wheel if Sin is still popular, but additional attractions had to be added. Musical Confession Booth run around is very well received.
Many members complained about what they perceived was a crass commercialization of our Holy history.
This was solved by bringing in the teen age girls from Our Sister Mary High School. During communion, they would do cartwheels and splits (in their cheerleader outfits) and accept contributions from the receivers.
Another revenue enhancer was the selection of fine wines available for purchase in the apse. All blessed by the priest of course. Our nave sells a complete selection of rosary beads, made in China, with a personal message from the Pope.
Many people think that the Catholic Church is still mired in the past. Nay, not true. While we have had to sell most of our propery to satify judgements against us, we still are on the leading edge of generating additional income.
