Yes, they're all tax free, but it seems like there should be some limits and
stiffer requirements. Some of the charities only really give a small
percentage of what they bring in to the people they claim they're helping.

The Catholic Church is not one of those...Catholic hospitlas alone
provide emergency room and outpatient care to thousands...plus all the
other charities they support...my sister works for Catholic SOcial
Services where she lives giving classes on foster parenting. The amount
of free services, counseling, etc. given out by that one agency is
staggering. And I imagine in large cities it would be even more so...
