:confused1:
The Salvation Army is not just a secular charity. It is a religious denomination. They hold regular services and have a set of doctrinal beliefs. Why would a Catholic give money to the purveyors of false religion? No employer or organisation, ie. fire department, can oblige someone to contribute to a religion whose beliefs he does not share. The same would be the case for employer-based contributions to March of Dimes, Lions Intnl., etc. There may be social pressure, but so what? There's social pressure to indulge in impurity, get drunk, take street drugs. They're all sins. Sometimes, a Catholic has to say, "No." I do not participate in my employer's annual "CROP Walk" because the proceeds go to support abortion, ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ "rights," and socialists. A few of the recipients are morally acceptable, but overall, the aim is opposed to the Reign of Christ the King. You needn't give a detailed explanation, or any explanation at all. Don't sign up. If someone in rightful authority demands an explanation, however, be ready with the facts. If that is unacceptable, then a Catholic must withdraw from the organization rather than betray the Faith.

“Planned Parenthood offices actually share an office with the Salvation Army”

That's a handy little arrangement which would bring customers and profits to both orgs. Tarred with the same brush, eh? Birds of a feather flock together!

What are your favorite charitable organizations in line with Catholic teaching and in need of support? Please share them in the comments.

The Pregnancy Counseling Center

http://www.pregnanthelp4u.org

(818) 895-2500

You won't find a more dedicated and conscientious group of volunteers anywhere.

Their office is across the street from an ongoing abortion mill on Sepulveda Blvd., that has been killing babies for decades. There are local residents who gather outside on the sidewalk praying the Rosary regularly. Most of the women coming in for appointments don't have any idea that there are alternatives to infanticide, nor do they even think of it as murder. A number of the women the Center helps are those who suffer from emotional consequences of abortion for years later, but the abortion mill and Planned Parenthood have no such programs. PP does not so much as acknowledge the existence of enduring repercussions of having an abortion.

Also, the Salvation Army doesn't consider water baptism as essential to salvation let alone a sacrament. Here read for yourself:

The Salvation Army acknowledges that there are many worthy ways of publicly witnessing to having been baptised into Christ's body by the Holy Spirit and expressing a desire to be his disciple.

They substitute their own 'swearing in ceremony' into their damnation army. Clearly heretical, I won't have anything to do with them. I'm not at all surprised that they have waffled on abortion.
