And this is what I answered in regard to the Catholic Church which is notorious for keeping tabs on their people’s incomes.
Like turning in your w-2s.

I'm not familiar with that claim regarding the Catholic Church. Could you be referring to the LDS Church instead?

I’ve not experienced it myself but it is kept track of and friends of mine were not given the respect of a funeral service for their parents because they stopped giving when they were sick and nobody kept up their giving for them.
I can’t say that every Catholic Church does it but I worked with a guy who married a Catholic lady and they asked him for his w-2.
It is all anecdotal but I find them to be common and in keeping with the Catholic history and traditions.

I'm aware that's the typical practice in the LDS faith, but the Catholic Church's official doctrine doesn't operate on a fixed 10% basis—they’re actually quite flexible. I suppose there could be parishes out there that are uniquely problematic.
