What is ?? Answer: The only mention of tithing in the Catechism of the is the following:

There is, • Preparation and formation appropriate to the level of however, the "law of love" which is even greater than a responsibilities that are assigned to them. mere juridical rule. The Lord of love says, in essence, "I was poor, and you helped me" (cf. Matthew 25). So alt- hough we are not legislated to give a particular percent- age of our earnings, we are urged to be as generous as we can.
