The collection for Peter's Pence is this weekend. Please remember Vatican support for sex abuse when considering your donation. There are other organizations one can support to do good without funding this one. If the only way we can make them listen is to defund them, so be it.

I haven't given to Peter's Pence for years now because I just don't trust what they're doing with our donations & also want to send them a message that Pope Francis cannot constantly look down upon & criticize faithful American Catholics while at the same time happily accepting our millions in donations.
Or, in the spirit of "malicious compliance," contribute a single penny, or a penny for everyone in your household if you're feeling extremely generous. It's Peter's Pence, so give literally a pence. A congregation of 500 would net them a whopping sum of $5.
Just make sure you actually write in and politely tell them why you are not contributing. Boycotting a product/service/organisation only works if they have an idea that a) you exist and b) inform them of a rationale for why you are boycotting. Otherwise the boycotted cannot draw the causal conclusion.

Thank you. I would not have thought to do that.
