I am an 81 year old woman that does not know how to get facts.

You ALREADY know the "facts" about the Clintons, since you've been able to read, write and disbelieve the media.

I don't give my charity money to the "usual" charities because 95% of the money I donate goes to "administrative" services. I checked with them and they admitted it.

I give to various Catholic charities because the REVERSE is true. 95% goes to the people in need.

The woman who argued with me about the "administrative" costs for the, say, Red Cross, was annoyed because even if those priests, friars, nuns and brothers DID work for the "love of God" they STILL had to be fed, clothed and housed.

Of course, the short answer is that only nuns take vows of poverty. They are maintained but they don't drive fancy cars, wear jewelry, designer clothes and live in posh condos.

Priests take vows of chastity only, not poverty. Being human being some of them break their vows, but not all of them do. Jesus HAD to leave His Church to human beings. He KNEW that we are all sinners, but He still did it.

Sorry for being so verbose!

I give locally only. We have plenty of families in need, due to loss of jobs.
