(2,159 posts)and agree with you completely. Some people have no clue what the Catholic organization is all about. Catholic Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Catholic Charities, individual churches that were/are safe havens for many, spiritual counseling, etc, etc. For example, Catholic Charities help people of all religious denominations and atheists as well. Their hospitals have saved countless lives through the years. What some people don't know, is many Catholic hospitals have been sold to secular businesses. I go to one for my hearing aids.
We know all the good and bad about the Catholic church. But many forget just how helpful and life saving its organizations have been, here and worldwide.
EDIT: I started my boxing career in the CYO (Catholic Youth Organization) and it was one of the best things to ever happen in my young life, along with wrestling and music (all taught to me by Catholics).
