INSIGHT

Sacraments Apply Grace

  • Catholics see grace applied chiefly through the sacraments, which express and actualize faith.
  • Sacraments cooperate with faith to make charity possible and justify the believer.
ADVICE

Give Guided By Charity Not Percentage

  • Don't treat tithing as a fixed canonical obligation; the Church requires charitable giving, not a strict 10% rule.
  • Let charity and personal circumstance guide how much you give, not a rigid percentage formula.
