Catholic Confessions, How Bizarre

In one of the strangest moves from the online casino gambling industry, and the Catholic church as well for that matter, Paddy Power has announced that the internet betting and gambling site has sponsored a Catholic confessional box at a church in the UK. In return for a generous donation Paddy Power has now received an actual plaque with the company’s name in return that will sit at the church. The decision comes off as a bit bizarre considering the fact that the Catholic church is not a huge supporter of gambling – neither land nor online caisno gambling – and yet now there is a full plaque at Suffolk’s Our Lady and St Etheldreda Church in the UK.

The decision to sponsor the Catholic confessional box was not taken lightly by Paddy Power, the online casino betting company sees this action as a natural extension of Paddy Power’s commitment to forging stronger links with the local communities it services with internet gaming content. Additionally, the online casino gaming company noted that it will also act as a way to bring people into the church and perhaps more closely connect the racing culture of Suffolk with the Catholic church – the Paddy Power representative even pondered “perhaps over time confessing your sins in a Paddy Power confession box will become a tradition for race-goers.”

There is no precise figure, but Paddy Power paid more than $15,000 for the right to put an online casino plaque on the confessional box; surprisingly, the church members in Suffolk had surprisingly little resistant to this new development, and have actually been grateful that Paddy Power is looking to bridge the gap between the Catholic Church and the gambling industry.
