First of all, it's not a tax. Secondly, you can always choose not to pay or go if you disagree.

Third, and most important, this is simply not true. The majority of masses in my church are one collection. Today was just one, for instance. Next week the second is for charities in Central and Eastern Europe. Last week the second was for charities in Africa. I can't even remember the last one before that but I think it was for maintenance.

And when I grew up, two collections was the norm. It surprises me that there is only one, most of the time.
