It's their prerogative...why all the hate. It's not like they legally have to be charitable.

Yes but it is hypocritical considering the theology they preach.

Yes, but it is still their perogative.
I really hope they don't follow through with this. Because the bill WILL pass sooner or later...

Yes.
It's also morally questionable, which is why I disagree with this move. |
But the Catholic church considers hiring/giving benefits (and so forth) a sin as well, so they're not in a very good situation. Somewhat appropriately, they're damned if they do, and damned if they don't.

To lavish praise upon this title, the assumption of a common plateau between player and game must be made. I won't open my unworthy mouth.
I say good riddance. People like helping people. If Catholic gay-hating charities disappear, non-Catholic Queer-friendly charities will replace them. I think Bill Gates and Warren Buffet have donated billions each to charity, and they're not Catholic, and they're definitely not going to stop helping people if we pass a law they don't like.

While I don’t know about Catholics in particular, I do know that charities that fall in-line with the values of Evangelical Christians and Mormons tend to have no difficulty fundraising or finding volunteers; while charities that are against the values of these religious groups have difficulty surviving without the aid of the government. I’m not religious, but I do know that these (often criticized) religions tend to volunteer and give to charity at disproportionate levels; and if a "Charity Strike" was started by the Catholic Church and followed by other denominations it is likely that charitable organizations would grind to a hault.
Realistically, I don't think this would happen because of the nature of people who volunteer, but I think you need to consider that many of the devoutly religious individuals see a greater need to volunteer; and as a result may be out working for multiple charities three or four nights a week, and these people are not easy to replace.
