What's That Doing in a Nice Catholic Blog?

From time to time, a service that I use will display links to - odd - services and retailers.

I block a few of the more obvious dubious advertisers.

For example: psychic anything, numerology, mediums, and related practices are on the no-no list for Catholics. It has to do with the Church's stand on divination. I try to block those ads.

Sometime regrettable advertisements get through, anyway.

Bottom line? What that service displays reflects the local culture's norms, - not Catholic teaching.

Thanks for Visiting

Advertising, news feeds, and other third-party content in this blog may be interesting. It may even be useful. But I didn't create it. More, in my disclaimers.

Disclaimers

The opinions expressed in this blog are my own. As a Catholic layman, I make an effort to be informed about the teachings of the Church, and will repeat what I have found. For more 'official' statements, I suggest that you talk to a priest or deacon in your area. Or check out the "Official Catholic Websites" on the Blogroll/Catholic Links page.

Although I make an effort to select meaningful and qualified information for the external links I create, I have no control over content on websites or blogs other than mine, and cannot be held responsible for their contents.

I have limited control over the advertisements and video links appearing on this blog. I do not necessarily endorse any of them.

Why is THAT Ad on a Catholic's Blog?!

Third-party advertisements in this blog reflect local norms, not Catholic teaching. I don't necessarily endorse the ideas: but I've got bills to pay.
