Based on Francis's recent visit, I have concluded that the Catholic Church is an irredeemably rotten institution. For a while, I have had the fortune to donate 100% of my after-tax wage income. Last year, this money went to domestic civil rights organizations. This year, I am interested in supporting organizations that are putting the hurt on this evil institution. While I recognize that decapitating this institution single-handedly is an unrealistic goal, I believe in the strategy of "death by a thousand cuts". The church seems to already be suffering many such cuts based on lawsuits, bankruptcies, and falling domestic collections revenues, and I would be delighted to contribute an additional cut where it can help. Ideal recipients would be those that harm the church as well as benefit its victims; e.g. survivors' legal representation groups. Which nonprofit organizations are the most well-managed and well-equipped to do this? Ideally 501c3, but not a strict requirement. And before you mention, I am perfectly aware that many other Christian denominations nurture homophobia, racial hatred, and other badness. I am targeting the Catholic Church based on the sheer enormity of the evil that it has fostered within living memory. TC 930K (including appreciation). YOE 9.
Planned Parenthood
Thanks. I believe that the best way to help PP is to make sure that it has reliable, long-lasting support, and the best way to do this is through the political process (candidate donations).
Any science academy
There are two many good Catholics who want to reform and redeem it. I would compare it to the Democratic Party, which was for a century the party of racism and white supremacy, but which totally flipped. I see the Catholic Church doing the same. I could be wrong, but I pray I’m not.
What makes you think your donation or not matters to them? They had a monopoly on European morality for more than 1k years.
Thousand small cuts. Also, I am most interested in hurting the institution in America, and I think we have a good climate in this country currently to do this. If you read the post, I fully acknowledge that one man cannot hope to decapitate the entire church.
So you are trying to just bring it down instead of helping the needy. If they have violated you and you want revenge I can understand that, but this doesn't mean you are on a moral high ground or helping the needed. You are no better than the scum in our political system
Against Malaria Foundation, Give Directly
Pro victims of child sex abuse charity > anti-Catholic charity. But, it’s your money...
Yes, as I mentioned this is the ideal. Something like legal assistance for survivors will both help them and hurt the institution. Know of any good charities like this?
I'm an atheist and all but this guy must be trolling.
I am agnostic and you are free to hold whatever assumptions you fancy.
Mate, with that kind of money if true you could found your own non profit to do whatever you like. Quite frankly probably the cheapest way to hurt them is (ironically) through Facebook ads promoting stories against Catholic church to their demographics. + your money will go further in Catholic developing countries (Latin America and east Europe).
Thanks for the suggestion. My philosophy is that giving to existing well-qualified organizations beats trying to half-ass my own. Unfortunately, I can't take up your second suggestion for self-evident reasons.
You do realize what you're doing can bring down the entire Catholic Church don't you? This could lead to cataclysmic social and economic consequences. Please stop for a moment and realize what you're doing. The fate of Catholicism lies in your hands.
Thank you for providing much needed dramatic effect my friend.

Thanks. I contribute to Dems at the federal level and will continue to do so. Here, I'm looking for more targeted methods to further this goal.
