Because while there are bad apples like this priest who uses tithes to feed his addictions, the vast majority of the money we donate goes to help fund the more than 139,000 secondary and primary schools, the 1,861 institutions of higher learning, and the 5,500 hospitals the Catholic Church owns and operates. That's not even mentioning the countless homes it owns and operates to assist orphaned children.

or the plethora of people the St. Vincent de Paul Society helps (don’t even have to be Catholic), or people helped with free legal guidance through Catholic charities, mental health counseling, homeless shelters - the list goes on.
