Rather to stop giving to an organization until they fix a pretty fucking big problem.
^Yes, this^
It's not like you have to pay a cover charge to worship in your local Catholic church, and it's not as if Jesus directed his followers to sell everything they have and give it to the Church. It seems that you can have it both ways: attend the church of your choice and give what you might have contributed as an offering to an organization that carries out good work that largely conforms to your conscience.
