Hi, guys —

I would like to know the position of the Catholic Church regarding organizations such as the Rotary Club and others of a similar nature.

From what I have researched, this particular organization does not have ties to Freemasonry.
As a Catholic, I would like to know whether it is permissible to support their philanthropic initiatives, such as charitable raffles, provided that these activities are not in opposition to Catholic morals or faith.

I would also like to make it clear that I do not intend to join such organizations, nor do I share or support their way of thinking.

I ask this because I participated in a charitable raffle associated with this institution.

Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Tiago
