Catholic Church Organist Fired For Selling Sex Toys
Catholic Church Organist Fired For Selling Sex Toys

NEW FRANKEN, Wis. -- A Catholic priest has removed his church's organist and choir director from her duties saying her sale of sex toys was not "consistent with Church teachings."

Linette Servais, 50, played the organ and sung with the choir for 35 years. Much of her work as choir director and organist was done without pay. When her parish priest asked to meet with her, she thought it was to say thank you.

Instead, she was told to quit her sales job with company known as Pure Romance or she would lose her position in the church.

Pure Romance in Loveland, Ohio, is a $60 million per year business that sells spa products and sex toys at homes parties attended by women. It has 15,000 consultants like Servais.

She said her decision was not hard: She began working with Pure Romance after a brain tumor and treatment left her sexually dysfunctional. The job allows her to help other women who have similar problems.

4. well, she didn't say what *kind* of organs she played...

3. Any fool knows which way a forced choice between sex and church will turn out.

7. Well, by and large, Catholics don't seem to struggle in either department.

5. Sometimes I wonder how religious people don't die of embarrassment
How can people be so repulsed by a biological function?

6. I think I bought something from that company once.
It's nothing compared to some of the companies out there. Come on-it just runs on a couple of batteries.

Maybe it would have been better if she had been selling shotguns door-to-door.

8. I hope you're appropriately ashamed.
This poor person, thanks to you, has one less organ to stimulate.

9. It reminds me of the Log Cabin Republicans. Who could be surprised?
What the hell would she have expected? Unfortunately this shouldn't even be worthy of a clip on page 45 of the local newspaper.

What is better than roses on a piano?
Tu- lips on an organ
