Catholic Church collects $1.6 billion in U.S. contracts, grants since 2012Which "Churches" receive federal funding for their "charities"?Churches are a part of the solution. The order of the solution goes like this: family, friends, churches, communities, state, federal.They're just as guilty. Instead of helping the poor my church purchased a new Bell. That Bell will be used to cattle in more sheep to give and maybe that will lead to more good works and less fund raising.It's probably religions fault, right?I agree. People have to hit Rick bottom before they are willing to change. Government removes the bottom so people can continue their bad behavior. A charity isn't going to give a bad person free money indefinitely. There's some accountability when you turn to a charity.
Now if only charities didn't keep 85% of the money they take in maybe we could make a dent
I've been to many different churches/synagogue/mosque/house of prayer and they never talk about helping the poor. I'm sure they do it but that's just a side thing they do. Certainly not a priority.
They'll say,"you aren't supposed to brag" That's Jew for I didn't donate. I translated that from the old testament
How are you categorizing "Churches" that receive federal funding for their "charities"?
Then there is the Jewish United Fund (or the United Jewish Communities-I can't remember) and the Lutheran Social Services. Those three receive 2/3 of their funding from the government.
