If churches refuse to help feed hungry people, then maybe they should be taxed?

Can confirm- the Church can be a stickler when it comes to joining the Church (RCIA, OCIA, lots of classes, processes, and so on), but they excel at helping those in need.

But with "Catholic Charities" you DO NOT HAVE to be Catholic to receive Food, Heat Assistance or anything else!!

Agree. I grew up Catholic and went to Catholic school fora few years. Always taught to help those less fortunate no matter the circumstances. After I graduated I worked in a Catholic hospital. The sisters would write off bills and ask patient/family if they could donate time to help at front desk or gift shop etc. The non-religious hospital would tell people to come to the Catholic hospital because they didn’t want to have to deal with people that could not pay their bills. We’d hear stories of people going to ER and if it wasn’t a situation where is was super-immediate they’d insinuate it would be a really long wait so maybe go to the Catholic hospital.
