[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you attend but not financially support the church?

I can understand wanting the experience of mass, but I could never give money to an organization that actively works to take away my rights as a woman and a lesbian.[/quote]

I’m a Catholic woman, and I have this same thought sometimes.  But really, most of the money either stays within the parish or goes out to help people with their rent and utilities and such.  
Also, I pay my taxes, and that’s a corrupt organization if I ever saw one.  
And I voluntarily put money into index funds and buy other stock from companies that aren’t exactly exempt from corruption.  
I don’t know.

Taxes are not a choice.

You choose to support an organization that spends millions on a lobby to deny sex abuse victims rights, they spend millions to deny LGBT people rights.

You can convince yourself that “your support doesn’t really help the lobby” but you are wrong.

Just admit you are too selfish to care about other people and move on.
