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.

You are quite right, Mary.
I've heard of a significant number (though relatively few proportionally) Protestants living on a tithe and giving the rest to God. I've NEVER heard of a Roman believer doing that. Not sure it means anything but it's an interesting fact--especially when some choose to lambast us about caring for others. Sheesh.
