TSV...Not Everyone is Catholic.!

I can't believe that QVC has made a cheap and overpriced bracelet, preying on people's vulnerability. These are CATHOLIC rosery's. I am Greek Orthodox Christian. When will you have a spiritual item from my denomination? What about Baptists or Pressbyterian?

I hope the people know that they are buying a Catholic item!!! Shame on QVC for not disclosing that!!!!

They aren't rosaries they could also be used like worry beads, and St Benedict the saints medal included in the TSV is venerated by Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Catholics and Anglicans. i'm guessing you've never searched QVC for Byzantine crosses, they have carried them.

I am not Catholc, and I bought the set. Padre Pio is also one of the people I revere. I look at the spiritual in things, not the denominational, which is why I also have some Buddha statues in my house, even though I am Christian.

As a protestant I understand many Catholic beliefs as I have Catholic friends & family members. While certainly not an expert, I could name many saints.

I didn't see any of the presentations but if this brings one comfort, joy or a reminder to pray or meditate, why bash the seller?

The off button on the remote has it's place.

Does it matter if it's a Catholic item? I mean, really, does it? One faith can't find comfort in another symbol of God?

I'm Catholic and NEVER thought they were a Catholic thing. Sorry... just didn't. To me, it looks like a bracelet that you wear and can touch to bring you strength, hope, whatever it is you need.

Similar to wearing a cross, an amulet, Star of David; or holding onto a pebble that a loved one gave you who is now gone but you hold it because it brings you comfort. Or ANYTHING else that you want to wear that you project your feelings of faith upon.

I'll probably be "removed": I think the problem with the world is every faith has to find fault with other faiths for whatever reason. In the end, does it matter HOW we believe? It's all the same God, right?

Carry on.

True, snowpuppy...I got bashed for saying the same thing on the other threads. Everyone so quick to trash anything they disagree with, all under the guise of anonymity.

I think the bracelets are for anyone who believes in God and turns to God for comfort!

Yep. I love my QVC, but I have to admit this one is bizarre. I don't mind and sometimes rather enjoy their jewelry of faith (WHEN it's done well), but this??? As a TSV??? I haven't watched or internet shopped all day, ever since I saw this 1st thing this morning. Come on, QVC. This is way too denomination-centric and weird and cheap-looking for your high standards.

Religious freedom folks! People can choose who, what, why, and how the worship in this country. We have the ability to choose right now, don't let intolerance throw that away. Many countries don't have any freedoms to choose how they worship and are forced to worship whatever the state religion happens to be or be severely punished, sometimes with their lives, for doing otherwise! I'm not Catholic either, but I purchased because of the beautiful women and families this supports! God bless!

Catholics wear medals and crosses as symbols of faith, not as decorative jewelry.

We're not allowed to post nor discuss religion, politics nor our opinions ...........so QVC should practice what they preach. Leave items related to worship to Stores of Faith.

Amen...............................................................

Let me add that it is unfair to make the hosts sell an item which contradicts with their personal views. I am Protestant, so I don't believe in Saints such as the one pictured on the bracelet: I belief that all believers are saints, not people chosen by the Catholic Church. If I were a host on QVC today, I'd be pretty uncomfortable pushing a bracelet that shows graven images of a Catholic Saint as a TSV. QVC should be more respectful to its hosts.

Why are you bashing hope, faith and love? Are we not all entitled to a little bit of light in our lives no matter the demonination? Yes, it's fundamentally Catholic, but all Christian branches and demoninations originated with Catholism which was then originally Judiism. Therefore a piece of jewetly that has invokes our one true God by defalt is going to have Catholic themes.

p.s. and by the way, if you don't like it I have a simple solution do not buy it but don't deprive the rest of the people of a diversity of products from the Q. After all aren't you all always complaining that the same products are featured over and over again?

Prating for you~

And just because they offer an item that sold close to or over 50,000 and it's of no use to you, why deny the opportunity for others that clearly it would have some meaning to or bring some kind of faith or hope to their lives. It may help bring some light to someone in need.

First of all, this thing is not a rosary!

And may God bless you for your tolerance. What a shame that items encouraging inner peace and comfort are such a threat to some. I am Catholic and tolerant of all faiths. Really. I think we all are children of the same God. And if one does not believe in God, that is their right, as well. Peace to all to seek it.
