Fergalicous: Adopt a Priest


In France, a Catholic Church is giving worshipers the opportunity to "adopt" a Priest to raise funds. The campaign basically says that priests of all ages are readily available. Anything from trainee seminary priests to retired but, active, pastors. 

The Adopt a Priest website

how do feel about this? do you think this is weird? do you think that it will be successful in raising funds for their church?

would you adopt a priest?

This is a really weird way raise money in my opinion but whatever works right? I'm not really sure how many funds this will raise because a lot of people may also find this weird but some might actually do it. I would not adopt a priest!

I think this is very weird to adopt a priest and i would never adopt a priest because there would be no reason for me to do so.

i think this is wrong and the complete wrong way of trying to raise money. I would be very skeptical to go to a church where the priest was 'adopted'

I like this idea because people are donating to the church and not getting something fake out of it such as indulgences

I too, think this is really strange for a fundraiser. Yes, the money will go to a greater cause, than to worry about what people might think, but at the same time there are plenty other ways that they could raise this money without symbolically adopting a priest.

I think this is the wrong way to go about raising money. I am an atheist but i think this is kind of insulting to religious people.

This is really weird...creepy in a way. Why would you even want to adopt a priest. They should come up with a better way to raise funds.

I find this really strange, I get where they were coming from in trying to find a original way to raise funds but this is not the right idea.

Idk man, this is just weird. Like, why would you adopt a grown ass man? I understand it's meant to raise funds for the church but what? Why adopt a priest? Who even wants to adopt a priest? This is just strange.

I do not really like this or agree with it.. In my opinion to go to this extent is not right and is just preposterous. As for being weird, yes I find this to be very weird and I doubt they will be successful. But hey, you never know.

This is very strange but people have the right to do whatever they want with their religion.

I think this is so weird and wrong in so many ways. First of all this is a terrible way to raise money for the church. Secondly it looks bad on your church its like your selling them for illegal activities or something. I would never adopt a priest.
