A coalition of Catholic organizations with the name Equally Blessed support marriage equality. Towards that end they have documented the $6.3 million the Catholic based Knights of Columbus have spent on anti-marriage initiatives since 2005. Another $9.6 million went to educational programs promoting one man--one woman marriage.
At the same time the Human Rights Campaign released how much of the anti-gay money in the four marriage equality battles came from Catholic sources. In Minnesota and Maryland those sources brought in over 3/4 of the money raised. In Washington and Maine, those source brought in over half.
Freedom to Marry created a succinct graphic that shows how that money could have been better spent, such as providing nearly 5.9 million meals for the poor.
