[The Brush]

I'm proposing that Catholics stop contributing to the church due of the hypocrisy of the church leadership.
If you're Catholic you're aware of it. Comparing contributions to the Catholic church to paying taxes assumes church and state operate under the same moral code.
Remember that it was the government that had to step in to put an end to the Church's "situation" with priests who were using their own congregates for their sexual pleasures. The Catholic Church chose to look away.

1) The Church leadership (diocesan, national and papal) gets about 10% from the regular parochial collection. The rest goes to the parish.

2) If your parish doesn’t collect enough, it will close. If all good Catholics — those who seek out the best parishes — stop tithing, the best parishes will close while the worst ones will remain standing.

3) Religious orders do not, I believe, tithe up, except to the rest of their congregation. There are plenty (at least hundreds) of faithful religious orders/groups worldwide, like Priests for Life, the Fraternity of St. Peter, the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity (SOLT).
