Catholic Charities USA receives almost 90% of its funding from the U.S. Govt. It certainly isn't "Catholic." We should divest ourselves from Catholic Charities and do something in each diocese as Bishop Edward Slattery of Tulsa, OK has done - privatizing Catholic Charities: http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/religion/catholic-charities-forgoes-government-funding-stays-true-to-values/article_ea0ceaea-4613-598f-a1bb-bc5c567bb22b.html
