"If I recall my Baltimore Catechism, nothing was said about "financially." Maybe that was Vatican II ?"

"297. What is meant by the commandment to contribute to the support of the Church?

By the commandment to contribute to the support of the Church is meant that each of us is obliged to bear his fair share of the financial burden of the Holy See, of the diocese, and of the parish.

So also the Lord directed that those who preach the gospel should have their living from the gospel. (I Corinthians 9:14)"

[Ann Archy]

Remeber the poor widow that gave the Temple Box a couple of coins.....THAT’s SUPPORTING your Church!!
