Wanted: an alternative to Peter’s Pence

SIR – Regarding the letter from P Whitney (November 1), for the past two years I have not contributed to Peter’s Pence because of the sadly well-known financial corruption in the Vatican.

It seems to me that, in these confusing and corrupt times, Catholics need to be careful where we put our donations. Some have stopped giving – but we mustn’t do that. We are called to care for the needy. So, I think we must do a bit of research and see where our donations will do the most good.
