You really could not think too much about the Catholic Church and the souls it gathers for heaven,else why would you recommend cutting off all money? How will the good priests,bishops,nuns,brothers survive? How will the schools continue to educate,the hospitals to operate,the charities to help with food,shelter and aid for the poor and the sick? Who will keep the churches in good repair,pay the electric,gas and water bills? Who will visit the prisoners and those in nursing homes and take communion to the home bound?

I agree the money should be monitored,I always take off all monies I have to spend on books and conservative newspapers and magazines and conferences I attend because the church has been remiss in teaching truth. But to advocate cutting off all money is self defeating,can you come up with a more reasonable plan?

Saradippity,

By all means give your "time talent and treasure" but make sure as best as you can its truly Catholic. I don't think any responsible Catholic advocates not giving at all. There are still plenty of good apostolates out there.
