1 | tithing or donations | Mark 12:41 | descombobulation | 58159 | ||
I was always under the impression that Catholics donate; that it's not called tithing. I am currently discussing this my life long friend. We went to Catholic Schools together. I don't know why she is now calling her church donations tithing. Can you help me find this in the New Testament? | ||||||
2 | tithing or donations | Mark 12:41 | Emmaus | 58198 | ||
decombobulation, I am a Catholic. Most of my life I have heard the collection taken up at Mass called an offering and other types of giving to the Church a donation. In recent years it is often spoken of in terms of tithing. I guess it comes under the catagory of " a rose by any other name." It is interesting to note that during the Middle Ages when the ecomony was agaraian there were barns built called tithe barns to hold the agricultural tithe offerings. Many still exist and are popular with tourists in England and Normandy. Here is a link to see a few. http://www.digital-brilliance.com/hyperg/history/tithe.htm Emmaus |
