SHOW STEVE
THE MONEY
A Wealthy Catholic Donor Rebels
is name isn’t ‘Steve’. He’s a recently-retired Midwesterner, a convert to the
Faith and a married man.
He also donates in the mid five figures to the Catholic Church every year.
Recently, he’s decided to divert a significant portion of that money away from his diocese. With the horrific revelations about America’s highest-ranking Cardinal’s decades-long sexual abuse of young boys, seminarians and priests – and the bishops and media who were aware and complicit –he’s one of a number of wealthy Catholic donors who are growing increasingly uneasy about what their donation dollars are funding.
Steve sat down with REGINA to explain his reasoning.
H
REGINA: How long have you been contributing to the Church?
STEVE: My wife and I have been contributing since we have been married. Let’s just say Pope Paul VI was pope when we began our support.
