The reason why is because Catholics support the rape of children, as do I. So I give them money to make sure they continue to rape kids. There, happy now? Now why you are associating with such a vile person such as myself, I do not know.
You're deliberately equivocating financial support of the Church for the moral support of molestation, when it has already been made plain to you that the issue is your financial support of an organization that has demonstrably shielded molesters.
No one has said you approve of molestation. I'm sure you find it as abhorrent as I do, honestly. You're being asked to think about what your tithing supports -- the sheltering of molesters -- and whether you're comfortable with that. If you're not okay with those activities -- and no doubt you're not -- ceasing donations would seem to be an easy answer to the dilemma.
If you choose another answer, do you not still wonder how your money is being used? I would, were I in your shoes. It's why I vote for antiwar candidates, it's why I refuse to donate to certain charities with a track-record of scandal. I wouldn't let my money assist those whose activities I find obnoxious, and neither should you.
