“we must look at material cooperation as well as monetary support.”
and what was listed by the article. The article did not tell us anything about any material cooperation or monetary support between the two orgs. Nothing.
I agree, but nonetheless the implied connection (wholly baseless) still leads the reader to wonder about “THE CONNECTION.” The wording was intended to convey a connection that did not exist.
Alas, “Catholic Charities” need the same scrutiny.
I’m Catholic and Mom has warned me since the 70’s that too many violate their faith by their allocation of resources.
There will never be such a government, Revelations makes that clear. Then we will have Jesus return as King and all this earthly crap will be forgotten like a bad dream.
The Salvation Army sold old ages ago. I gave up on them same as the Red doubleCross.
Best if you check these things before you make claims which border on slander.

I should clarify what the links I provided say. All sources I can dig up say the Wounded Warrior Project spends about 58% of revenues on programs for the intended recipients (wounded veterans).
The 97% spend on administration claim is a blatant falsehood.
“What Does the Salvation Army Teach About the Sacraments?”
It teaches what most actual Christian denominatons teach about the “Sacraments”, i.e., there are no sacraments in Christian theology. Cults make up extra-biblical stuff such as “sacraments”; Christians do not. There are no sacraments in the Bible. More made-up stuff.
This article is based on nothing but speculation and denigrates one of the most charitable CHRISTIAN institutions on Earth. Whereas most Catholic Priests live in good housing and eat the best foods, the Ministry of the Salvation Army is to provide for the needs of the poor and help with disaster recovery. They are usually first on the scene with food, clothing, and a warm hand and a smile. Yet, their salaries and stipends are extremely modest. The money put into those kettles is used for providing services, not for building fancy edifices and gilt idols of worship. There are lies, and damn lies. This one is lower than that!
This display of Roman Catholic bigotry is disgusting!
Well, you know what they say...."When in Rome...."
As far as the comment in post #32 which you pinged me to regarding discontinuing religious posting I would say that the opportunity to publicly discuss the errors of the Catholic Church or any other Church is one of the opportunities Free Republic offers that others don't. I feel it's a great service and hope it continues. I, for one donate to this site because of it. I congratulate Jim and his RMs for having the courage to continue and thank them for the service they provide.
If that type of debate offends you, then ignore the open RF threads altogether and instead post to threads labeled "caucus" "ecumenical" "devotional" or "prayer."
If you feel inundated by pro-Catholicism threads, then feel free to post all the pro-Protestantism threads you'd like.
Finally, if you do not wish to see RF posts, do NOT use the "everything" option on the Free Republic browse option list. Instead, browse by "News/Activism." When you log back in, the browse will reset to "everything" - so be sure to set it back to "News/Activism."
The Sacraments were instituted by Christ to give grace. They are wonderful gifts.
With that comment can there be any doubt that one day most will follow a one world religion?
My mother grew up in very extreme poverty... and she always remember the Salvation Army would help them.. ..I always give....
sorry but the Catholic Church tend to be an extremely rich church with a lot of very poor members.. funny how that works out
Yes, led by the anti-Christ
Thank you for posting the link. I, too, will continue to support this fine organization.
Actually led by the false prophet. Now keep your eye on how the Catholic Church and all other religions are mysteriously cooperating.
Under the leadership of the Catholic Church I might add.
"Making do", unless you get something better? I believe that a functional, constitutional representative republic is the best form of government over any country, at any time in history. I say that as a conservative, as a student of history, as a student of Reformed theology, and as a Protestant Christian.
