You're welcome, Raoul. I'll be sure to keep you in my prayers. I can relate...I sometimes have scrupulous thoughts like that as well. I'd imagine alot of Catholics do at some point, though obviously some more than others.

What is that you are selling? Are you marketing your house to Catholics or to whoever wants a place to live?

SS is correct here. My gut reaction was this is evil, to remove all religious objects. That thought is not of God.

Let the house sell with the religious items up. Watch a buyer come who is Catholic, or even a Novus Ordo-ite, and want to buy your place at full price and even talk with you about the faith and you become a light to the traditional Catholic faith to them.

Watch.

I would take it all down.

You're about to sell your house (part of the earth under dominion of Christ, with you as the vice-regent) and turn it over to some infidel or heretic. And this for a mere $500,000 -- money that you can't take with you.

That is true, and can't be denied.

So are Catholics to never sell any property, because they have consecrated their homes to the Sacred Heart, while most people use homes as hives of sin?

That can't be.

Therefore, I conclude it's OK to sell your house. And it's true that people won't buy a house when it seems like "someone else's house" -- if it's stamped with your personality. It doesn't matter how that is done -- via religious decorations, personal pictures, or anything else.

You're not selling a shrine.
