Best Answer

In the United States, the Constitution forbids government from aiding an establishment of religion. This has been interpreted as forbidding giving government funds to a church simply because it needs or wants financial assistance. A church can receive government funds to support non-religious activities, such as soup kitchens and community food pantries.

Does the Mormon church financial support the sister wives?

Most definitely not. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) banned polygamy over 100 years ago. The Church does not provide financial support to any sister-wife. The Church will provide in-kind help (food, clothing, emergency supplies, job training, etc) to people outside of their faith who apply for assistance. If you are speaking of the Sister Wives tv show, no. The Browns of the tv show are not members of the Mormon Church. Both Kody and Janelle left the Mormon Church to join the Apostolic United Brethren. Their church may provide financial support, but the Mormon church does not.

Does the Catholic Church publish financial statement?

Yes and no. Yes, in that the only Catholic Church that exists as far as an accountable legal entity is what the Catholics call a "Particular Church". Each particular church is an individual diocese ruled by a Bishop, every parish in that diocese is accountable to the Bishop, who is accountable to God. Every diocese issues a financial statement every financial year, you can see financial statements for the Vatican on line, just do a google search for it. No, in that there is no world-wide Catholic Church that is one financial institution.

Does the Mormon church pay members for each child?

No, certainly not. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) doesn't pay members to do anything. They don't even pay clergy. Even when members need financial assistance, the Church usually gives in-kind donations (such as food or clothing) rather than giving them money. The Church understands that some couples are not medically able to have children or that they struggle with fertility and may only have a few children so it would be unfair to pay people for having children. In addition, the Church's aim is only to provide religious knowledge and spiritual assistance as outlined in the scriptures, and giving people money doesn't have any precedence in scripture.


Will Mormons give us help?

Yes. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) and its members will provide assistance to anyone in need.

He will meet with you to discuss your needs and determine how the Church may be able to help.
