Michael....I want the poor helped ....here and everywhere!

BUT I think it is just plain misleading for the Church to get credit for helping the poor when it was the taxpayers NOT the Church contributors who provided the funds....and Catholic Charities is a case in point as is Catholic Relief Service....

Think we need "truth in donating" big time!!

I am very tired of ignorant Catholics proud of the work of these agencies under the misguided impression that CATHOLICS had provided the funds....would far rather see these monies distributed elsewhere for the same functions and Catholics wake up to their LACK of personal charity..
