I thought Mormonism was weird but at least you get extra kitty if you play by 1830s Core Rules.
I went to the store today and every single Mexican there had way more dirt on their face than usual. It turns out it's some r-slurred Catholic ritual where they smear burnt leaves on your face.

Idk it's the weirdest thing because they kept telling us it's from the fronds but I never saw anyone return them.
Likely the church wholesaler burns the leftovers and then supplies holy ashes or smth

That's probably it, a centralized grower and burner and then they distribute the ashes

Everything in the church comes from a catalog. It's incredibly sacrilegious imo but what a niche market to be in

Mammon won. Back in the olden days monks or nuns would make a lot of church goods like candles, wine, Eucharist. Artisans (themselves believers) would make the rest.
As monasteries and convents collapsed private enterprise bought out the market. I think there is one convent left where they bake Eucharist still.
Megachurches even have tithing ATMs in the lobbies

So basically danish pirates gave rise to capitalism?
