Catholic Church profiteering August 1, 2022 6:50 am Pebble

$50 to get into the Sagrada Familia. We declined their ‘kind offer’ and noted their claim that it is for all people regardless of background, circumstances and ethnicity. That’s the wealthy ones from all backgrounds, circumstances and ethnicity then.

No mention of age. My (atheist) son commented that he thought it was a cardinal sin to charge that much and added that he thought the Catholic Church would no doubt let under 18 year old boys go in free. He’s got my sense of ‘humour’ for sure.

I feel that an email of complaint is in the offing.

Needless to say I am not at all surprised.
