You're exactly right, Emmet; and I've been recommending that very thing in another thread dealing with the fact that some profoundly misguided, wrong-headed bishops and priests have used their pulpits, parish bulletins and diocesan newspapers to advance the candidacy of the racist, fascist know-nothing blowhard who is the Republican nominee for president.  I urge folks to divert some or all of the money otherwise intended for the church to the candidate or cause of their choosing and then -- and this is important -- notify the priest, bishop and nuncio what they have done and why.
