So the church doesn’t like competition?

[stanne]

Works of charity or any one virtue over others leads to imbalance I know women who do so much for the poor and less fortunate. Their husbands wander and the kids act out their neglect

Some of these women are proud of all they do and don’t hesitate to judge others, form charity holier than thou cliques.

[Salvation]

Not from the government!

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

[Grateful2God]

The government wants Catholic Charities to change their Mission Statement. Giving care, food, shelter, to anyone regardless of sexual orientation is one thing- and the right thing to do, and there is no objection. Being forced to place children in same-sex marriage homes is another. That's going directly against the Gospel, scandalizing little children; it is placing an unwitting child into an environment which we as Catholics believe is intrinsically against (what the Declaration of Independence described as,) "the laws of nature and of nature's God."
