I encountered a rare breed today. Momentary eye contact in the parking lot. Purple hair. Covid mask. Nose rings. Tattoos. She was walking away from her car that had a sign in the window which read,"CHECK YOUR WHITE PRIVILEGE" and a link to a website to learn more about white privilege. She was white. Her car hailed from Portland by the look of the stickers.

Yeah I found conflicting opinions on it. Too murky for me to sort out. Even the Magisterium AI waffled between "ok to sell blessed rosaries if only to cover costs" and "absolutely can't sell rosaries specifically". IDK.
I'm not sure where you are finding blessed things for sale but I've never seen that in my experience. All blessed objects I've found are only given away for free, and non-blessed things are for actual sale.

2025-10-28 12:38:27 UTC

- reply

There is a lot of nuance to the subject not captured in my summary. Perhaps the monks were offering free blessed rosaries and you could make a free will donation for them?
From magisterium.com:
The Church teaches that a blessing is a **sacramental** – a sacred sign instituted by the Church that prepares the faithful to receive the grace of the sacraments[^1]. Because a sacramental is a “spiritual thing” belonging to the treasury of God, the Church forbids any **exchange of it for a temporal price**. The sin of such an exchange is called **simony**.
### 1. Simony and the sale of spiritual goods
The Catechism defines simony as “the buying or selling of spiritual things”[^2]. The Church’s magisterial documents repeatedly condemn the practice of putting sacred objects or blessings up for sale:
* The Fourth Lateran Council (1215) expressly forbids “the sale of relics” and, by extension, any commercial traffic in sacred objects[^3].
* The same council also condemns “the selling of blessings, the ordination of clerics, the consecration of bishops” as a grave abuse[^4].
* The *Catholic Encyclopedia* on Simony states that it is “unlawful … to sell blessed rosaries or crucifixes”[^5].
* The *Enchiridion Symbolorum* (Dz 364) adds that anyone who acquires any “ecclesiastical sacrament, namely chrism or holy oil, the consecrations of altars or of churches” by money is to be marked with disgrace[^6].
Thus, **selling a blessed rosary, a crucifix, a holy water font, or any other object that has received a Church blessing is a simoniacal act**.
### 2. Can a priest sell a blessing?
A priest may bless an object **free of charge**. The *Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy* stresses that a blessing “is an authentic expression of faith in God, the giver of all good things” and that it must be given “without the appearance of a price”[^7]. The Code of Canon Law (Can. 1167 § 2) requires that the rites and formulas for sacramentals be observed “carefully” and that they are established **by the Apostolic See alone**, not for commercial profit[^8]. Therefore a priest who receives money **specifically for the act of blessing** commits simony; a modest donation offered voluntarily after a legitimate blessing is permissible, but the blessing itself cannot be sold.
### 3. Does a blessed item lose its blessing when sold?
The blessing itself **remains** on the object; the sacramental effect is not automatically nullified by a change of ownership. However, the Church teaches that the **spiritual benefit attached to the object** (such as an indulgence) can be lost when the object is sold. The Baltimore Catechism notes that “things lose the Indulgences attached to them … when they are sold”[^9]. The loss of an indulgence does not mean the object is no longer a blessed sacramental, but it does indicate that the commercial transaction is illicit and deprives the faithful of the attached spiritual benefit.
### 4. Practical implications for the faithful
* **Monks or laypersons who sell blessed rosaries** are acting illicitly; the transaction is simony and the sale is prohibited.
* **A blessed object may be freely given, loaned, or bequeathed** without any loss of its sacramental character. The faithful should receive such items as gifts, not as purchases.
* **If you acquire a blessed object**, you do not need to have it re‑blessed simply because it changed hands; the original blessing remains valid. Nonetheless, you should avoid any situation that makes the blessing appear to have been bought for profit.
### 5. Summary
The Church’s teaching is clear:
1. Blessings are sacramentals, belonging to the spiritual treasury of the Church.
2. Simony—selling or buying spiritual goods—is gravely sinful; it includes the sale of blessed objects.
3. Priests may not charge for a blessing; any such charge is simoniacal.
4. A blessed item does **not** lose its blessing when sold, but the act of selling is illicit and may cause the loss of any indulgence attached to the object.
Faithful Catholics are therefore called to receive and distribute blessed sacramentals **as gifts of charity**, not as commodities for profit, preserving the dignity of the Church’s sacramental economy.

This is not actually possible, but someone unethical might still do it. Fun fact: blessed objects lose their blessing if sold, making it impossible to sell blessed items for a profit.

I am against digital ID, obviously, but I also have an American social security number I was assigned at birth and I could not get a typical job witbout it. So I'm not sure why everyone is especially distressed at this new flavor of government abuse, because digital ids have been a thing since before most of us were born. Is it wrong? Not inherently, but it makes government abuse and identity theft so easy that it constitutes willful negligence of the duty to protect.

The early Christians saw the end of the world as the moment when God would rescue them from the current persecution they suffered. It was a pastoral call to remain faithful during hardship and to have hope of rescue in response to real immediate danger. I think the main difference was the surrounding circumstances at the time. Indeed, a warning about the imminent end of the world can provoke repentance and charity while shaping a communal identity. Their beliefs about the apocalypse were not new but inherited from their jewish tradition and knowledge of the world.
During a crisis, when it's impossible to see a way out, I can see why it seemed like the end of the world, and why they thought an apocalypse was necessary to save the faith as the Christians were on the brink of extermination.
However, I think things are different today. Different circumstances. And symbolically, the world is ending for each of us individually, so the words are still true in some sense. I think the response should be the same: repent and love Jesus, live well, live morally with charity. But enlightened by the passage of history and its stubborn unwillingness to abruptly end, I see no reason to fear an apocalypse as our culture has ingrained us to. The early Christians saw the end of the world as God bringing relief from a hopeless situation, but today we see it as an unmitigated disaster beyond compare that destroys everything. I don't think it's healthy to dwell on the latter.
