"My donations to the Roman Catholic Church WILL now be minimized......"

Seems to me it already was. Had you donated even a small amount of curiosity (time) as to what the church was doing with funds donated for charity, you would have noticed long ago that the church was donating to a fraudulent community organization, and could have alerted them.

""Do not judge, and you will not be judged; because the judgements you give are the judgements you will get, and the amount you measure out is the amount you will be given." (Mt.7:1-2).

The Transparency of the utilization of Donations to the Catholic Church is very opaque and limited!

Our parish and diocese provide some very high level financial reports and Pie Charts which are very difficult if not impossible to trace the source of the funds from the actual donation of the gifts to the utilization of these monies at the grass root levels such as ACORN!

Unless someone at the receiving end of these monies identifies the source of these monies, don’t count on your bishop to help you understand what is happening.

This may not be the greatest analogy but did any bishop ever function as a whistle blower in the Priest Pedophile scandal?

Don’t count on your bishops to identify any problems like monies going to ACORN!
