Isn't ZENIT free?
Dear friends,
A few readers have written us to complain about our donations campaign. "Isn't ZENIT supposed to be free?" they ask. Others query, "Isn't this barrage of letters an exercise of psychological pressure on readers?"
I can assure you, no one wishes we could shorten or simply omit this ask-a-thon more than we do! Appealing to the generosity of our readers is a sort of necessary evil for ZENIT -- it's what allows us to keep ZENIT cost-free for the many who simply cannot pay.
In fact, as of now only about 3.5% of ZENIT's half-million readers donates anything at all.
But the campaign also allows you, our readers, to perform a good work, a "corporal work of mercy." Giving alms to those who beg carries with it an eternal reward, our Lord promises.
If the campaign feels like pressure to you, maybe it's your conscience inviting you to give a little something to this worthy, non-profit enterprise. Your little sacrifice will keep ZENIT providing the best Catholic news for another 10 years!
