Remember the crackpots in Australia who thought they saw an image of our Lady in a fence post? Well, it hasn't taken long for somebody to cash in on this new "apparition". You can have your very own prayers e-mailed to Australia to be delivered to the site of the "image" for a mere $16.50 each. That's possible thanks to the folks at virginmaryprayers.com, and it looks like the emphasis should be on the .com, as in "commerce". On the other hand, if you want to give them a voluntary donation of $25 or $100 to "help pay for the administration of this site", they'll take that too, though I doubt they're spending as much as $100 a year to run the thing.
How do I know about all this? Because they spammed a friend o'mine, and they'll probably spam you too before long. That act by itself qualifies them as notorious public sinners.
Ahem, Catholic Light does not endorse the aforementioned site.
