Where Does All The CATHOLIC Money Go? by ashmanpolo: 7:43am On Sep 20, 2015
I had a heated argument about this topic with some friends, including an Architect, a Lawyer and his Fiancée. And we almost exchanged blows last night, like seriously. They vs Me.

They were of the opinion that some percentage of the money goes to the Vatican and it's expedient and mandatory that the Pope gets his own percentage.

I was of the opinion that the money is normally used for church maintenance, helping the poor, bills, Missionary School activities, helping Monastries etc and the Pope/Vatican has no share from our parish money.
Now I should imagine that my monthly 10% plus Offerings and contributions get shared and even fractionates to the Pope. Then I won't buy the idea.

The simple fact is that if you are still a Catholic and still pouring your money to its pocket, you are a complicit in some criminal conspiracy.

Their priests commit different sort of sex abuse in the name of unhitched holy fellows.
We always demand that government should give account of our tax money and other revenues generated, and that it should be made public. But in the case of catholic, you dare not.

Catholic is an illegal organization using it's huge power it have been wielding for millennia to avert the normal punishments it meant to accrue in our present secular societal setup.

First and foremost is not every issues you should post on a public domain.I believe when one gives in the church.no one forces you to. And What and where the money goes should not be an issue to exchange blows over.It show that you catholic know very little about the church.I will enlighten you.if you do not know ask from does who know.

When people make such bold statements, you should request for verifiable proof to their claims not degenerating matters into blows. tongue

The Vatican may have received money from time to time. Do I have proof? No Was it for charitable purposes? Maybe. In my experience with the Catholic church before we parted ways, all offerings made were mostly for certain charitable goals, church building projects, sponsoring of a Seminarian e.t.c which are always announced/known.

In natural disaster cases, like the Haiti earthquake,the Vatican could decide that all offerings made on a particular Sunday globally be diverted to support victims.

A simple google search with your smartphone would have saved both parties the energy from arguing and shouting.

In a parish several collections are made if u truly take note dey don't go into the same offering box Eucharistic collection goes to the bishop and then the vatican for pastorial work, all other collections for different mentioned purposes go to the respective purpose, the thanksgiving offerings is solely for the church it is used by the priest for the church's development and sometimes when the church needs to contribute to something for d diocese and funds raised were not enough it's taken from such funds, also, priest are paid salaries and these come from the money remitted to bishop, also it's up to the priest he could take money and assist the under privileged of the parish and these come from the the thanksgiving offerings.

Hope you get the breakdown, never the less I will not also fail to say that sometimes corruption happens in the hierarchy system.
