Not from the government!

Government money eventually leads to government dictates. Catholic Charities should drop all the federal or state grants they receive.

It is not just government money that is the problem.

I am aware of an offer to fund and teach a course on ethics and morality at a major Catholic University that was turned down.

The reason it was turned down was that it would offend large corporate donors to the school.

Money does influence situations that are contrary to God’s laws. It starts with small matters and continues into larger ones.

Temporary gains are attractive, but we need to see the bigger picture that God’s gifts are more beneficial.

The Church’s chief purpose is to bring people to God and salvation by spreading the Good News.

Helping the poor and the misguided is just one way to bring people to want to please God.
