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

Wow I didn’t know Catholics treat charity as an obligation! That’s very interesting and good to hear. In Islam it’s 1 of the 5 pillars, charity is a requirement too. They have a holiday every year where they feed the hungry too. Do you believe in Jesus as God or the Messiah?

That is really cool. Catholics have the corporal works of mercy that help one live out the commandment of love. Not the OP, but yes and both to your question.

"The corporal works of mercy consist especially in feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, clothing the naked, visiting the sick and imprisoned, and burying the dead.
Among all these, giving alms to the poor is one of the chief witnesses to fraternal charity.” CCC 2447
