    Are Catholic churches the only churches that have Bingo tournaments for cash prizes?

    They are in Id, Llew; the Reformation hasn’t arrived there yet.

    As for the rest, no. “Churches and charity organizations” of various kinds use bingo in that way, although good ol’ Wikipedia isn’t more explicit. I used to drop in every so often as a volunteer for one of the charities.

    Raffling’s not gambling. It’s bidding.

    For what it’s worth, gambling is forbidden in our church (Episcopal). That’s why we don’t allow members to invest in the stock market. ; - )

    emet, whew! I thought it was just me, but apparently you are zinging fastballs over the heads of more than one commenter here. I find it admirable that at your age (I am assuming here) you still have enough heat on the ball to swoosh them over the heads of younger, more au fait individuals

    magnifique!

    For the edification of the early posters, although “car” is usually thought to be synonymous will “automobile,” the word has been around a lot longer than they. According to Merriam-Webster: car - 1: a vehicle moving on wheels.

    Church bingo, State Lottery. Why is the position of authority teaching luck will get you something for nothing? A fine lesson to teach our young. Hard work is for suckers. Watch those TV game shows ( not The $64.000 question). Scratch then litter. You keep playing ya gotta win.

    CAR is an acronym - cabbage and rats…some prize.

    There’s a joke running around - the one about (choose your Protestant denomination) who dies and gets the Grand Tour - the highlight of which is a plain unadorned wall, with sounds of a Bingo game wafting over it. “What’s THAT group?” the newcomer asks Peter. “Oh, those are the Catholics.” “But why the wall?” “Because they don’t believe anyone else is up here.”

    As told by a Roman Catholic priest TO a bunch of Roman Catholic guys. AT a bingo game. We all thought it was hilarious!
