I don't want to give them donations as it has been proven over the years that they can't be trusted. I would like to donate, though, to an organization that helps abused children. Any good organization. Can someone suggest to me a good group to donate to?

Mary's Meals supplies money so the local people can set up kitchens at schools, buy local food and volunteers make the meals. For as little as £6, a pupil is provided with one meal a day. - Wendy Nelson Sat, 12 Sep 2009 19:39:31 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/catholic-charities-and-truth.html#comment-2897 For some time I have been thinking the same thing! It is demoralizing to see nothing done to correct this situation. Thank you for bring attention to this issue. - Ron Wed, 09 Sep 2009 23:16:45 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/catholic-charities-and-truth.html#comment-2893 The U.S. bishops' overseas "humanitarian agency," Catholic Relief Services (CRS) escapes opprobrious mention here, but it is fully as culpable, and as fully dependent on government money, as its domestic cousin, Catholic Charities. Evidence of the perfidy of CRS emerges from time to time -- see the recent article in Catholic World Report by moral theologian Germain Grisez -- but when exposed it prevaricates or ignores: witness NY Bishop Dolan's shameful non-response to the Grisez concern. - Jon Wed, 09 Sep 2009 17:26:19 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/catholic-charities-and-truth.html#comment-2892 Catholic Charities USA should drop "Catholic" from its title. Maintaining a Catholic identity requires adherence to Catholic teaching. I am sure they could scrape up the other 35% of their funding out of the stimulus funds. - LBHawk Wed, 09 Sep 2009 15:03:40 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/catholic-charities-and-truth.html#comment-2891 As deserving of criticism as Fr. Jenkins was for honoring President Obama at Notre Dame, I do not believe that he did what Fr. Snyder of Catholic Charities did: actually encourage his donors and constituents to support a health care bill that EVERYONE knows will sponsor abortion. There should be much more of a stink about that - Brian Wed, 09 Sep 2009 11:49:32 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/catholic-charities-and-truth.html#comment-2889 $100 Million "contract" with the government. 65% of the budget from government sources. Can anybody with a straight face tell me that this won't lead Catholic Charities to soft pedal or down play its pro-life commitment? After I heard that last year that Catholic Charities contributed to ACORN, I said to myself ' No mas.' I am leery of all the large Catholic organizations that are in the hunt for government grants. - John McCarthy Wed, 09 Sep 2009 11:46:35 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/catholic-charities-and-truth.html#comment-2888 Charities in Australia have sold their soul for climate change money too. But what do we find now? News from New Scientist Magazine - chief modeler of the IPCC "have to wait two more decades until global cooling finishes before things warm up again - but still give us your money in the meantime". Plenty enough time for the revolutionaries to do their worst. What can a little promotion of falsehood hurt when we could help so many people with this silver? - Martin Snigg Wed, 09 Sep 2009 11:45:54 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/catholic-charities-and-truth.html#comment-2887 Excellent! I would not hold my breath for an Obama bioethics panel to pay much attention to "veritas." So far this regime has been inimical to sanctity of life issues. Pluralalism and diversity are good in themselves but in today's culture diversity is a euphemism for unbridled liberties. Saying one is conservative or" that is a conservative Catholic website" is an often too familiar way of circumventing "veritas." Appeasement of this culture will only result in the spread of a ravenous cancer. - Willie Wed, 09 Sep 2009 11:45:23 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/catholic-charities-and-truth.html#comment-2890 Thank you so much for printing this article. I am currently at odds with the Catholic Charities from the Diocese of St. Petersburg. The waste of their money, the dependence on the government, and the unjust means to their ends are not Catholic, or even spiritual. It is a shame and so many people believe that they are The Church. I truly pray that all Catholics read this article and open their eyes to the organization that represents them. Catholics, speak up! Do not be afraid! - Laura Wed, 09 Sep 2009 10:53:57 +0100
