And see, a good friend of mine is Catholic, and complains that the tithe at her church is 11%. A good portion of every sermon there is devoted to reminding the 'good Catholics' in attendance that the 11% tithe is not a choice.

It comes down to the specific church. Catholic or protestant, both can be equally guilty and equally not guilty.
