It should ease your mind not to participate even with St. Vincent De Paul, because they are with the federal government and they must give phone numbers of the state to refer for abortion. Very True! I highly suggest no making of bucks, no fundraisers. For every $1 the New Order will give to the feds to get $3 back. Money is not the issue. In fact, when Vincent De Paul did his work on earth, the organization went door to door making sure that those who resided were getting the sacraments. His goal! It was not his goal to feed the body, it was the soul first. So, it is better to keep your Sundays Holy away from this group. And give to traditional that you know for sure and give for a particular purpose. Or for your cause. Save money to fly to a traditional church for confession and such. Have masses said for you and others like you.
I wouldn't be concerned about boycotting Vinnies, as it is now officially known here. It is no longer Catholic, in the sense that any person with or without any religion can work for them. They steer clear of helping pregnancy help organisations, maybe they do not like to be tarred with the anti-choice brush. This is my experience.
I was at one of their training days and the
guru who was attempted, pretty successfully, to brainwash the members, openly ridiculed Catholic devotions, like the wearing of the Brown Scapular. Nobody, except me, protested at his repugnant behaviour, though a nun patted me on the back later when I was in the wash room. You can be sure that the
guru was being paid big bucks for his work.
There are many good people in the SVdeP but if Blessed Frederick Ozaman was to come back, I doubt he would recognise it, and St Vincent would not he happy to see his good name besmirched. Maybe it's just as well they're Vinnies now.
