Coffee, Redemption and a Muffin please.

According to Dave's limited knowledge of the Bible, Jesus Christ only truely got angry and lost his cool on one recorded occasion in his short life time. On walking into a church he found it was being used as a market place. He smashed things, overturned tables and put everyone there to shame. Selling things in church was a major no no.

Knowing this, Dave stood speachless. He was in Liverpool's Old Cathedrale. The vast size and feel of the building would be enough to quiet any tongue. Unfortunately, Dave was speechless in a bad way.

The Cathedrale had a shop. Ok, the Cathedrale needs money and true the majority of things in there seemed to be religous or cathedrale related. But did it really need to sell things like a phonebox moneybox? Upstairs in the shop, a cafe added further insult. But what REALLY annoyed Dave was that the Cathedrale was putting on a mass and there were three times as many people in the cafe than sitting and listening.

There was something very wrong with that.

I heard staff said, we don't give out information about buses in liverpool. I found it is bad as well. Church ppl should be willing to help. Maybe they had too much?

Depends on whether you were in Catholic or Protestant mass, in Catholic mass u get free wine and biscuits. In your face Starbucks

Think that's bad Catholic cathedral sells out its catecomes (basement) to hold freshers fair and beer festivals. Of course could remind you that technically cathedrals aren't churches they are monuments that have churches in them, but that's just being picky.

Want to get pissed off, my local church has at least two collections, per mass and always tries to get its parishoners to switch its tax charity donations over to the church.

In defence of Church shops they are run by volunteers (not staff) and should only sell charitable products (kinda like fair trade).
