I had the same thoughts, OP.

Look at their universities also.

Most so-called Catholic universities should be banned from calling themselves Catholic. Notably Georgetown, Notre Dame, Fordham, Marquette, etc, etc, etc.

Part of this is still about the support ACORN once received from collections directed toward the Catholic Campaign for Human Development. Word has it that they are still funding the re-formed (and re-named) ACORN, but indirectly this time.

In 2010 quite a few Catholics returned their special-donation envelope for CCHD with a single acorn enclosed, which was encouraging. But Rome is getting tired of communist inclinations among their ministries to the poor. (While communism as sharing-all-things is the shape of Christian discipleship in community, as a governmental system it is hostile to religion and its denial of free choice denigrates human dignity.)

JPII and BXVI continue to turn this giant ship back in the right direction.

right, #4..
i quit giving to "Catholic" Charities in MN years ago when Jason Lewis pointed out they were funding ACORN..

For disclosure ... I´m Roman Catholic (RC). Many RC charities do fantastic work and are as lean as can be, but one must examine each charity closely. But decades ago, I learned that if there is a ´default´ charity to give to, it is Salvation Army ...... leanest admin structure etcetera .... fairly apolitical ... although many would sadly charecterize SA as ´throwback´ ......

Modernity thinks it is too ´sophisticated´ to understand why SA works ... and worked back over a hundred years ago and still today. People are people .....

Yep, all that stuff, and don´t forget our 10% cut!
