No price list, no sale...

[Ribaric]

From Croatia World....

"Church goers in the small northern Croatian town of Sveti Juraj na Bregu were up arms on Sunday after a local priest gave a warning during mass to those who give less than 50 kuna (6.50 euros) during donation time at mass.The priest told church goers that it was an embarrassment that they could buy their kids the latest iPhones but only give 20 kuna (2.50 euro) during the sunday mass whip round.

“I mentioned (at church) that I made a list of those who gave less than 50 kuna, maybe it is time I was honest to myself, if they do not need me, then they shouldn’t even open the door for me,” said the priest to portal eMedimurje."



He should put a price list on the door, people could decide about going in... or not! The priest "has a list"

I've heard of instances such as this in small towns. People really don't have a lot - so horrible to shame them this way.

I wish people would boycott mass for a month or two and teach him a lesson!

As children, we were each given a 50c coin to put in the basket for the collection - for years that's all we gave. Our priests never mentioned $ or our "lack" of giving.

In my local church (in Surrey, UK), the collection plate has very little paper money in it. Mostly its £1 coins.
