I still don’t get why they are willingly giving money to that racket.

16th century Europeans were keener on the scam.

I haven't given to the parish-diocese pipeline (which pays into the USCCB and the Vatican) in over 15 years.

I give directly to parish projects which have their own accounta (Youth Group, Respect Life group, St Vincent de Paul (Food Bank) and into other Catholic indepedent voices like Life Site News. I support the Church by supporting the Whistleblowers and the Independent Catholic Media.

No way I'd give to CCHD or Peter's Pence.

And I think thousands, maybe millions of Catholics have fine-tuned where their Catholic charitable dollars go, over the last 20 years and especially over the last 3 or 4 years. There are concerted campaigns to keep $$$ out of the USCCB.
