Catholic Charities Chief Hopes Donors Don't Withhold Support

By Carla HintonFaith editor chinton@oklahoman.comEditor's note: This interview was planned a week in advance of the Oct. 3 release of a report listing "credibly accused" priests in the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City and occurred the day after the report's release. — The local head of Catholic Charities is hoping people don't halt agency donations because of troubles within the Roman Catholic Church. During a recent interview, Patrick Raglow, executive director of Catholic Charities of Oklahoma City, said withholding funds from his organization or other charities affiliated with the Church hurts those who depend on these agencies' services. And he said roughly 80% of the people who receive aid from Catholic Charities-OKC are not Catholic. The agency head said people should be concerned about the clergy sex abuse crisis, including the recent Oklahoma City archdiocese report. However, Raglow said "in times when there are scandals, whether it's this or any other scandal in the Church, the call of the Gospel to serve those least among us is the best of our faith tradition."Read more on NewsOK.com
