If you are fed up with the poor stewardship of financial resources in the Catholic Church or you have had enough of an organization that does not confront the issue of sexual abuse of children and adults head on, but you still support your home parish financially, please consider participating in the withholding of financial support for the church for one Sunday as a form of personal protest. Please go to Send the Bishops a Message for more information. The date for this event is December 21,2008.
Personally, I can not understand why anyone tithes to a Catholic Church at this point, but that is my baggage.
