Perhaps this nun's mission is not on the top of their list. I think they did very well by them and gave them a good consignment rate. They also got a lot of press for them (and visa versa). If the folks at Heritage wanted to do it for free and issue a press release about their generous deed, then that would be wonderful. But I do not think any less of them for not doing it.

I agree with this, as well.
