norbert,

Do you beleive that two people of the same gender living together and having sexual relations is a mortal sin, yes or no?

[this is really very simple]

Thomas Monaghan, the Catholic who used to own Domino’s Pizza gave a lot of his money to charity, much to pro-life organizations. Some pro-choice organizations wanted to boycott Domino’s because it was supporting pro-life.

Monaghan said that customers were exchanging their dollars for his pizza, and they should have no say about where the profits went, as pizza buyers got the value they expected for their money.

How is the business with Ford any different? You give Monaghan or Ford your money, they give you a pizza or a car in exchange. End of transaction.

C’mon!!! Say that a portion of the profits goes to killing a baby. Should you still buy it? Or will you justify your actions through ignorance? Moral relativism again!!

I for one am sick of the whole boycott this and that cause the gays are involved… I agree with you…what they do with their profits is between them and God… all I’m doing is paying for a pizza and buying a car…

I wonder what people here who would boycott Ford do if they found out ALL Car makers did the same…ride a bike to work? Not me.

Now I am off to get into my Ford and drive to the store…I’m out of KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese.

So it would be ok to buy products from Planned Parenthood; provided they are good quality and the right price?

You have to at least “consider” what you’re supporting. You can’t just wash your hands of everything!

Even you must have a threshold over which you won’t cross.
 
Shroudman,

Just as an FYI: There was a two year boycott of Dairy Queen by prolife groups because DQ’s parent company was giving profits to planned parenthood. After two years of declining sales, they stopped giving to PP and the boycott was lifted.

It is rare, but boycotts do work.

Monaghan was stating that since you have no ownership is his company you don’t have a right to say where the profits go.

As a consumer you sure have a right and I submit duty to only buy from companies who uphold Catholic teaching. If everyone did that we would see change very quickly. A lot of the stuff libs harp about all the time would be gone.

Hiding behind complacency is what I see going on here.

We are guilty of sins which we ourselves do not commit when we cooperate with another person’s sins.

**NINE WAYS OF BEING AN ACCESSORY TO ANOTHER’S SIN **

We share in another’s sin:

1. by counsel
2. by command
3. by consent
4. by provocation
5. by praise or flattery
6. by silence
7. by assistance/partaking
8. by defense
9. by concealment

Everytime we purchase a product from a company that regularly donates money to Pro-Choice or Homosexual activist groups we are assisting/partaking in that sin. The less successful the company because of their support of immoral causes the less likely they are to donate to those causes.

If you discovered that a company/corporation was financially supporting a group that planned to bomb and terrorize the United States would you still financially support that company by purchasing goods or services from them?

The end of the transaction does not simply end at the cash register. There is a chain reaction to almost every dollar spent.

I don’t know about you, but I simply don’t have the time or inclination to investigate the corporate giving activities of every company that I buy a product from or their suppliers’ corporate giving activities.

But, please, have at it, if you like.

Dear Richardols,

It’s not about investigating each and every company but when we discover or are informed of a company donating money for immoral causes don’t we as Christians have an obligation to do something or not do something (stop buying products) about it? I found out about Ford Motor Company from an e-mail I received.

Nor do I, but when you become aware should you not act?
 
buffalo,

I believe we do have a responsibility to act when we become aware of a situation. Should any company male a profit off the slaughter of innocent babies?

A successful boycott gives other companies pause when they consider their charitable giving.
 
buffalo,

I agree and there is almost always choices to make when it come to how we spend our money.
 
richardols,

No, Ford has not been accused of supporting abortion, at least not that I know of. I was pointing out that there are times when we should really watch where our money goes…companies who financially support things that are bad for society, are companies that should be boycotted…imo.
 
I wont buy Ford products cuz I dont want my money to go to homosexual causes. Same with Levi’s I dont buy their pants cuz they do support the same thing.

Your point is well taken. Cook County Hospital provides abortions with taxpayer money. Everytime someone buys gas in Cook County they are helping to pay for abortions. People can go to other counties nearby to buy gas, such as DuPage, Lake and Kane Counties that don’t provide abortions. Does this mean everyone who buys gas in Cook County or lives in Cook County is complicit in these abortions? No, just as in the same way someone who buys a Ford is not promoting the homosexual agenda.
I admire Monaghan for starting Ave Maria funds as a way to invest money in companies that are in line with Catholic moral values. However, this doesn’t mean someone who has money in a mutual fund is morally complicit in the acts of the companies in which the funds are invested.
I hope people realize that both Target and Wal-Mart give to Planned Parenthood. Should we not shop there anymore? What are we to do if we live in an area and all retail outlets give money to organizations such as Planned Parenthood.
I would not discourage anyone from boycotting Ford because of this practice, but I also wouldn’t call someone morally complicit in promoting the homosexual agenda for buying a Ford.
 
swiss gaurd,

If we have a reasonable alternative, we should shop elsewhere.

Tell me, if Cook County Hospital was in the side business of selling illegal drugs to minors within cook country schools, and they purchased the drugs by using tax money from cook county gas stations…would you still purchase gas at those stations?

The problme here is Catholics do not take these matters seriously. If we step outside ourselves at look at the bigger picture through an analogy like the drug sale analogy, sometimes we can reach different conclusions.

Same sex marriage is either wrong or it is not.

But, your example is so over the top that it doesn’t serve point you want to make.

I don’t think any of us disagree about this one. But, when the subject is civil unions rather than marriage, it becomes a more open topic.
