I am not telling anyone what to do, but I refuse to tithe to the Church. My parish openly brags on how they shelter undocumented workers. There are other forms of tithing that I know go to making a difference.
This catholic also has decided to support other charities and no longer fund catholic charities. We’ll give to the parish but not beyond that. I was rather perturbed when they gave a woman the pulpit to preach how wonderful their caharity house was that sheltered the poor from central america. Unwashed masses with no paper yearning to breathe free, on someone elses dime.
It wouldnt be so bad if it wasnt combined with the overt political activism of getting millions legalized and empowered to vote themselves a larger welfare state at our expense.
I am not interested in funding an anti-American strategy that destroys our country.
