Not necessarily emergency welfare.
Adoptions and foster care work. Drug, alcohol and abuse supporter. Working with indigenous communities. Huge drives like 'Toys and Tucker'.
The existing organisations have a lot to offer still. At this stage, they aren't replacable with the alternatives. One day they will be though, I'm not arguing that they shouldn't be. However, I don't really see a need for a mass secularisation of the charity/NFP/welfare and support agencies.

Start taxing them ffs.

Which roles? Emergency welfare?

Agreed Pala, but none of them are really equipped to step into the roles of the afore mentioned.

The Red Cross, CARE and Doctors Without Borders and many more do alright without having a religious agenda.

Thankyou Water is a great demonstration of a transparent secular charity group.

I've started donating to the Smith Family, everything I've been able to find about them I've liked. If people have some credible dirt on them though, I'd like to know as I have high standards for where I donate.

On the original topic, as a Catholic I'm happy that these people are being weeded out.

Transparent how? I'd be happy to see that happen, but it won't. The established religious organisations are too well respected for their work I suspect (St. vinnies, Salvos, Anglicare ect).
I'm all for religious charity groups, because I know they do some fantastic work. Many have a sketchy past, but that shouldn't stop them from working for the good of the community in the future.

Time for the rise of the transparent, secular, non-profit NGO.

And they would be right.

Unfortunately, some charity organisations are being hindered by the process, but that's a small price to pay for justice.

Some would say that it's long overdue.

He won't be in a hurry to get back.

It's just going to be a nightmare few years for a lot of religious organisations.

That someone in the Catholic setup is see some consequences for covering things up?

Very big surprise.

Pell is lucky he's in The Vatican right now.

There's a surprise.
