Priest fires organist who moonlights as sex-toy saleswoman
A Wisconsin organist has been fired after 35 years of mostly volunteer service because the priest doesn't approve of her side job selling "romance enhancers" -- aka sex toys and lotions.

Linette Servais was paid $1,000 a year to play the organ, direct the choir, take pictures during First Communion and plan the annual summer picnic. She has been eased out of those jobs since late fall, when her pastor told the congregation about her moonlighting and issued an ultimatum."It was just cut and dry, either you do this or else. I thought that was really unfair after all the years I put into the church," she tells WBAY-TV.

Servais, saying she wanted to help women with cancer who have sexual side-effects, chose the sex-toy company. Now she can't even sing with the choir.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel has an excerpt from the letter Father Dean Dombroski sent to his congregation: Linette is a consultant for a firm which sells products of a sexual nature that are not consistent with Church teachings. Because parish leaders are expected to model the teaching of our faith, once this matter became public she and I met and she was given a choice. Either she could stay on as the choir director/organist or she could continue to be a consultant but she could not do both.

But Servais says she doesn't see any conflict between the two roles. In fact, she says her work for Pure Romance is a personal ministry.

"Father Dean made it sound so sinful," she tells the paper. "There is so much more to this business than toys."

She is one of 15,000 consultants who sell products for Pure Romance, an Ohio company that claimed $50 million in sales during 2005. The company sells a range of "bedroom accessories, books, games and lingerie, as well as a high-end assortment of bath and body products, sensual lotions and spa products."

That's about all we can say about their products without getting fired.

Sex toys are EVIL! Anyone who uses them deserves death.

Being a pedophile priest is o.k though.

wow, that's crazy.

Her sales will probably go up, now.

But she was helping women cope with cancer.....they should look at that.
