There's also a wide swath of religious-based charities that are *not the American Catholic Church.* That our government should provide more essential services (feed, clothe, house) is undeniably true, but I reject the notion that there's a principled stand against helping people because it would be better done another way.
The other thing to note is that many of the best church-based charities succeed because their focus is incredibly local and specific. It means I don't have good links to throw up here, but it doesn't undercut their value.
