Though I wonder if per capita, they are ahead of most Protestant groups on that score given the various orders which have poverty as their requirement . . . though the picture is muddy for several reasons.
I think of the Salvation Army, Rescue Mission, Samaritan's Purse, Operation Blessing and a host of other Christian organizations that are constantly on the front lines with charity. How many Catholics actually tithe? We're expected to in our church and we give liberally to missions and to our Christian school. Missions is a big part of our church. Catholics don't have the corner on that market.
