Yes  indeed, withholding donations is the best and only way to get the bishops/Vatican to pay attention. Because the bottom line is it's all about the bloody money -forget about 'saving souls' -they could care less. The Charlotte diocese tends to be rather right wing and monied from my experience with visiting there. The huge St. Mathews church is like a mega church - the pastor is very condescending and gives terrible homilies.  He has a captive audience as churches are so spread out. The audience consists of transplanted Northerners for the most part. Plus they have a school so everyone sends their children there as it is very much in vogue to do so.
