The tithe is not a Catholic teaching. However, we follow the corporal acts of mercy - food to the poor, clothing to those in need, etc.
In addition, one of the precepts of the Church is to support the Church in her maintenance and activities.
Really, when you think of it, all we have is from God. These treasures on earth, as the Pope just said, are meaningless. So we must give of ourselves (time, talent, and treasure) to help further the mission that Christ entrusted in us.

I ask because I'm familiar with the story of Francis D'Assisi (sp?) and have always assumed Catholics felt a little more obligation than most to respect nature.
But my kid attends a Catholic preschool, and the parking lot there (across from the Church) is always filled with the most enormous SUV's in existence (Suburbans and the like). To make matters worse, many parents don't even turn their cars off while they're inside the school--they leave them idling for God knows how long (pun intended). Then there's the whole enormous family thing...
It's all so strange to see this in a parking lot in front of a Catholic Church.
It is no secret that many who attend Church are not sincere in their love of Jesus and the world God has given us. I also think too many are planning on Rapture happening so soon we need not worry about the future. This is true all over, not just in Catholic Church parking lots.
the catholic social teachings are: Human Dignity, Community and the Common Good, Rights and Responsibilities, Option for the Poor and Vulnerable, Participation, Dignity of Work and Rights of Workers, Stewardship of Creation, Solidarity, Role of Government, and Promotion of Peace
thanks guys
Peace and Justice documents from Vatican II. Anything goes in the name of security of an entire nation, almost.
New vicar of stewardship brings business savvy to position
explain it in commons words please.
"Vicar" is normally someone appointed by the Pope, Cardinal, or Bishop.
"Stewardship" is persuading the people of the Church to donate their time, talent, or money (aka treasure) to the Church or to what the Church considers a worthy cause (such as a donation to a Catholic University or Catholic Missionaries).
So, in this case I would expect that the person that was appointed to be the new vicar was:
- appointed by a Bishop or higher
- to help primarily raise money, plus get people involved in volunteering, for causes of the Church
- has an education or real-life work background in business (brings business savvy to the position)
God bless!
I need seven people who embody the seven principles of catholic social teaching. One person per principle.
The principles are:
Stewardship
Solidarity
Dignity of work and the rights of workers
Preferential Option for the poor and vulnerable
Rights and responsibilities
Call to family, community, and participation
Life and Dignity of the Human Person
I would really appreciate your help.
I agree with you on Jesus, but I need examples of how people fulfill the seven principles. Like Mother Teresa.

March 26, 2010 Catholic Stewardship, Deficit Spending, and "The National Debt Road Trip"Around this time of year, we hear from our local bishop and our parish priest about the importance of "Stewardship." Of course, the kind of stewardship they are talking about relates to wise use of our personal financial resources and our responsibility to share in the work of the Church by renewing our annual tithing commitments to the parish and to the annual diocesan appeal.
But the Catholic concept of Stewardship applies as well to our national spending practices, which threaten to bankrupt the nation (quite literally) and leave a mountain of debt and interest payments to our children. In my nearly complete series on the Obama-Democratic health care legislation, I suggest that the plan is not economically viable and if fully implemented will be disastrous for our country.
