I did not contribute my hard earned money so that it went to the poor.

I contribute to Peter’s Pence so that it precisely goes to Rome, because I want it to go to Rome.

Obviously why should Rome do with its money, what some protestant, like you, wants it to do?

I think your protestant contributions are just a fraction of Catholicism contributions, but I think you are not contributing near enough to fight abortion, contraception and pornography.

I would be up for matching donations for every $ protestants donated to EWTN and Relevant Radio!

Are you tithing 10% on the gross or the net?

A 2008 study from barna showed the following:

The study also showed that Protestants were four times as likely to tithe as were Catholics (8% versus 2%, respectively).

Christians tend to be the most generous group of donors. An examination of the three dominant subgroups within the Christian community showed that evangelicals, the 7% of the population who are most committed to the Christian faith, donated a mean of $4260 to all non-profit entities in 2007. Non-evangelical born again Christians, who represent another 37% of the public, donated a mean of $1581. The other 42% of the Christian population, who are aligned with a Christian church but are not born again, donated a mean of $865. Overall, the three segments of the Christian community averaged donations of $1426.

The Christian giving was divided between Protestants (mean of $1705) and Catholics ($984).

You know...everytime a catholic makes these kinds of statements, the facts just shoot them out of the sky. Will they ever learn??

I wonder how many more cash cows Rome has suckered in. Rome is the inspiration for some sleazy money-grubbing televangelists that Catholics love to point to.
