[quote=Anonymous][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] No, the Bible calls tithing the grain, new wine, seeds and olive oil that is given to the poor. Not the money that is given to operate the church. You tithe when you give to care for the poor, or to quote Deuteronomy " the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns". So money given at church to support the operations of the church is not a tithe. Money given to Catholic Charities would be considered a tithe, although not usually the term that most modern Catholics would use. [/quote] Except that the Levites were the tribe of priests, who were supported through tithes because they were priests and not farmers. [/quote]
