My grandmother gave each of us a rosary credit card.
A rosary credit card
So, what, is this so you can pay the fee to get into heaven, or book a swankier room in Purgatory?
it’s only shaped like a credit card, sadly. I was hoping it would be like a Black American Express card for Catholicism. The rosary “beads” are like braille bumps.
I’m trying to imagine how a Catholic credit card would function …. every time you swipe, the Church gets 10% cash back?
That’s easy to answer: a Catholic credit card would function in two ways:
1) it has the most difficult return policy ever. Namely, you can only return in an undisclosed future after several events take place involving horsemen.
2) After each purchase you will receive automated calls and emails reminding you that it was a very bad idea to buy whatever it is you bought. The guilt will become unbearable but you can get rid of it by redeeming “Guilt Free Points” through talking to some guy who sits behind a curtain in a cubicle at the mall, followed by a string of prayers.
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
