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.

Some, I suppose, would like to think that this is like your typical Avon, Tupperware, candles, baskets, or other "home party" sales promotion...

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.

"After I got over the initial shock, I prayed over this a long time," she said. "I feel that Pure Romance is my ministry."

"My ministry"??? Really??? Well then, as they say, "Let the 'party' begin..."
