[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People, it's not called tithing in the Catholic church.[/quote] Even though that's what the Bible calls it?[/quote] Correct. The Catholic Church is not evangelical in that every word in the bible is considered unassailable God's truth, the way that some more evangelical christian churches view it. I was also under the understanding that tithing is traditionally a given percentage of your income. Friends that are Mormon and friends that are evangelical have both told me that they tithe 10% of their income. Nowhere in all the places I've lived or parishes I've belonged to, has a % of your income been expected or demanded. The weekly collection, which is how it's termed, is simply gathered during Mass. The Bishop's Lenten Appeal normally provides some suggestions regarding donation amounts, suggestions that DH and I laugh at and simply give what we are comfortable wtih giving.[/quote]
