It's my understanding that Catholic Charities is what puts on that debauched dinner before the election, where all the most putrid politicians can preen before the public and crack jokes at anyone's expense, including Christianity.
I know it's not expressed, but these ministries are really aimed at Evangelical Christians. I doubt many Catholics or mainline break-offs would qualify (abortion supporters, excessive drinkers, etc.)
You’re exactly right about Catholic Charities.
