There are a lot of companies that don’t support the Catholic perspective. Probably more than you know…from the car you drive to the computer you use to the phone you talk on to the store you buy food at. Do you boycott them all?
Bring me a venti Sumatra with room for half and half and you gotta deal!
IMO, sometimes the comments in this forum are quite ridiculous and for me, it makes the person holier than Jesus.
It’s like “I’m more knowledgeable about Catholic faith than others.”
So can I go to Starbucks tomorrow?
I’m sure there are more than I know. I try to do the best I can by keeping myself informed w/ the LDI boycott list. If I’m able to boycott I do. I also let the company know about it. Why does this bother you?
You could not be more wrong. Not only do I vote but I work hard on the campaigns of pro-life candidates. Part of that work is getting others to register to vote.
What about supporting the parishes who’s priests believe that women should be ordained, homosexuals should be able to marry, contraception should be allowed, etc…? The vatican hasn’t done a thing about stopping them. Why? The “CEO’s” of those parishes are supporting things against Catholic Teaching.
It doesn’t bother me…really. I think it a bit odd when someone gets upset over a cup of coffee or a car yet they support other companies merely for the sake of convenience.
It is selective morality. We make purchases everyday knowing nothing of the moral position that the company, employees or vendors take regarding your views.
I love the carmel macchiatas there.
What is the LDI boycott list?
Hold on here - you don’t care about what Country it comes from? So if your happy with the views of Company X, you buy those products.
A parish is much more than it’s pastor.
It doesn’t bother me that you don’t boycott. I think it’s a bit odd that someone doesn’t get upset when a portion of the proceeds of their cup of coffee goes to child murder.
Life Decisions International boycott list.
I don’t pretend that the country of origin is irrelevant. However, change within countries is largely dependent on the citizens of the nation.
A portion of my church donation has already gone to child abusers and those who supported them and to pay for their misdeeds. I guess I should boycott the church also…oh but wait, their are also good people there, same as at Starbucks (and the coffee is better at Starbucks)!
The Church has been taken advantage of by pediphiles. That’s a whole different can of worms and if you want to talk about it start a new thread.
Unbelieveable…simply unbelieveable…I am trying to hard not to crack up at the insanity.
Someone comes out with a list of no-no’s and tells you that you’re going to hell in a handbasket if you even “think” of getting a cup of coffee from Starbucks…and goodness knows “just who” will see you chugging down a latte grande…Nope, I don’t see it that way. Some of the bosses (the bishops) of the church - the magesterium - have actively supported child abuse and gays. Sounds an awful lot like the CEO’s of Starbucks supporting whatever it is you don’t like them supporting. Of course it’s a little different supporting equal rights for domestic partners than the obscenity of child abuse but I’m sure you get the idea.
