Here's a study done by the Barna Group of donations to Churches by various groups and subgroups. It was done in 2001-2002, but it's pretty consistent with previous years:

Protestants gave away an average of 57% more money than did Catholics ($1379 compared to $878).

Registered or attending?

And the relevance to a discussion of married clergy?

And where does the money go? The Catholic Church is far more active in charitable works. I've never heard of a Baptist or other Protestant charity of any note.
