This practice really irks me. We're already the most taxed people in the USA and our own church wants to tax us twice on top of all that? When I attended church with family in the suburbs, the collection basket only came around once. But EVERY single Catholic church I've attended in the city from South Philly to the far Northeast has double collections.

How are Catholics taxed more than other citizens of the US?
