Are College Students Really This Dumb?

Some church donations go to help others who are struggling
...

Most.

 

[sealybobo]

Only if they can use them.

Are you kidding me? Yea, Trump and Republicans care about the poor, and don't use them.

Do you know how much teachers would make if Republicans had their way? Shit.

 

[sealybobo]

Most.

No way. Show me the church who gives away MOST of the money they take in.

 

[Unkotare]

...it's something our government needs to do.
...

^^^ The liberal "solution" to everything.

 

[Unkotare]

No way. Show me the church who gives away MOST of the money they take in.

Go to your local church and ask them about it.

 

[sealybobo]

Yeah, that's why Catholic priests earn on average $25,000-$45,000 a year. Just hoarding all that money.

You're leaving out an awful lot.

Their take-home pay is generally low, but their basic living expenses are typically covered by the parish or diocese.

Yes, Catholic diocesan priests generally receive pensions, along with Social Security, Medicare, and sometimes housing, to support them in retirement (usually around age 70). These benefits are typically funded by Diocesan Priests' Retirement Funds, which are supported by parish investments and donations.

Go to your local church and ask them about it.

I know they don't. Neither does yours.

Key Aspects of Catholic Service to the Needy:

• Catholic Charities USA & Local Agencies: Catholic Charities agencies served over 15 million people in the U.S. last year, providing food, housing support, counseling, and assistance for the elderly, disabled, and pregnant women.
• Caritas Internationalis: A network of 162 Catholic agencies operating in over 200 countries, delivering aid during natural disasters, war, and famine, including millions served in Ukraine.
• Corporal Works of Mercy: Parish and church initiatives focus on concrete acts of mercy: feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the imprisoned, and sheltering the homeless.
• Targeted Assistance: Efforts include operating mobile food pantries, providing legal aid to migrants, organizing disaster relief, offering addiction recovery, and running job training programs.
• Commitment to Social Teaching: The Church holds an "option for the poor," viewing service not just as charity, but as a commitment to justice and recognizing the face of Christ in the needy.
• Specific Ministries: Organizations like the St. Vincent de Paul Society and Community of Sant' Egidio offer community-based support, including school assistance for children, visitation for the elderly, and friendship for the homeless.

The Church's efforts are deeply rooted in its traditions of love for the poor, often serving as a primary source of assistance for vulnerable individuals in local communities.

Go ask. "I know" by itself means nothing.

Most.

Not even close
Only a small percentage goes to the poor

You mean like pesky regulations that allow you to pollute the air? Stuff like that? You mean caring about MY great lakes because I live around them? Am I being selfish?

Such spin.

You only care about the planet because you feel guilty about being an asshole to everyone around you.

It's like a Christian that goes to church several times a week.

They feel guilty about all of the rotten shit they've said and done during the week.

Spending time in church acts as a cleansing agent for all of their sins.

The same can be said for Democrats who always latch onto silly causes because it makes everyone around them think they're good people, when deep down they know they disgusting a holes who spend all of their spare time fornicating and getting high.

 

[rightwinger]

What percent of total contributions?

Local parish spending

• About 74% of church donations stay in the local parish (staff, buildings, operations).
• Roughly 10–20% is often used for:
  • charity
  • outreach
  • missions

^^^ The liberal "solution" to everything.

It's his way of accepting paid protesters.

Much of the money they stole goes to paying for protesters to get them what they want.

They learned this from Muslims.

Riots work wonders for liberal causes.

 

[Unkotare]

Those donations feed the hungry, house the homeless, clothe poor children, facilitate adoptions, support schools, etc. Liberals want to think that paying taxes at the point of a gun equates to charitable giving.

Actually I come here because I'm sick of being a good person all week. Biting my lip. What's wrong with you people?

I heard that making more money is better.
Go figure.

Everywhere near a city is more expensive.

But not everywhere has the constant insanity that exists in CA.

Well, paying $1 million for a house that costs $100K elsewhere in other cities would pretty much show that 'making more money' in California just buys a whole lot less and they don't really 'make more money'.
