Hi everyone! I’m having some trouble with something. That is, when I go online for example and looking at a “Catholic” website which sells sacramentals, books, etc and all seems to be straight up Catholic. Then I usually come across the weird stuff that just tells me that its NOT Catholic. That is, I will find a St. Joseph House Selling kit for example. That is superstition, not anything to do with true Catholicism! How can one call them a legit merchant of Catholic articles? If you haven’t found this stuff online, look a little harder you will find it. I’ve found it at sites that have even been suggested here on CAF. They loose all credibility in my eyes when they sell stuff like that. Anyone else feel this way?
 
On the other end of the spectrum, you could find a wide selection of outstanding Catholic books on Amazon.com and run into pictures of pornography.

I say there is legitimate concern to want to possess a good, and the means to obtain it does not end at the purchase itself. These concerns could warrant self-denial, and an ever vigilant mortification.
 
It doesn’t stop me from seeking sacramentals, books, etc. I’m speaking of sites like EWTN store for example (and many others). Although I have not personally found anything official from the Church on the topic of St. Joseph house selling statues stating anything against it, I haven’t found anything advocating it either.

Just seems silly to me to include that stuff along with Rosaries, etc. How can they say they’re a true Catholic retailer and sell items like that?
