Fr Matthew P. Schneider, LC

I'm a Catholic priest who somehow realized I was great at Twitter and blogging Catholic news analysis. I hope you can help me continue in this. I really get almost no money from all my online activity, and I started Patreon as my community budget is quite tight &amp; I want help remedy this. The money I raise here helps my community directly with things like electricity and food (I have a vow of poverty so that won't change) and if somehow I get a ton, the excess would be donated to charity - probably for Catholic schools for the poor in Latin America. For tax purposes, Patreon donations are tax-deductible in the USA as donations to my religious community (this is LC Pastoral Services, EIN 06-1540230).
