"Catholic Charities received a total of nearly $2.9 billion from the US government in 2010. In comparison, its annual revenue was $4.67 billion. Only about $140 million came from donations from diocesan churches, the remainder coming from in-kind contributions, investments, program fees, and community donations."

That's just the Catholic Charities take. I wonder how much the Catholics make on tax breaks from the gubmint? Like sales tax, and property taxes? That will put the number in trillions.
