To the DU Catholics

148. The American taxpayer pays for most of the Catholic Charities budget:

Catholic Charities gets 65 percent of its $2.3 billion annual budget now flowing from government sources. That means the poster you are chiding paid for those good deeds as much as anyone, and that collectively we the People paid for those good deeds far more than the 'Catholic Charities' themselves did.
So the day that poster did all of those good deeds was the day the RCC took his money to do those good deeds.
Funny that this fact is always absent from the proclamations of great good works. Who did those works? Mostly the taxpayer, 65% to 45%.
Is it in fact honest at all to claim that 'Catholic Charities' does that which is paid for by taxes? I don't think that it is honest. I think it is mendacious. Veering toward the fraudulent. I keep reading that those 'good works' excuse child abuse and bigotry, but if that is the exchange being made, 65% of the excuses are null and void.
