Or refused to take money from the VOTF?

That has nothing to do with anything. (Except, of course, not answering my question.)

It has much to do with it. A choice is made for a reason.

Do you think the church would have refused the contribution from the family if they had said "this money cannot be used for Archdiocese expenses".

For the record, I see nothing wrong with the church accepting the families money.
