SUDBURY -- Local legislators and St. Anselm's parishioners back a proposed bill that would make public the financial records of religious organizations.
'When you give to a charity, I think everyone should know where your money goes,' said Rep. Susan Pope, R-Wayland.
The legislation, filed by Sen. Marian Walsh, D-West Roxbury, would amend an existing law and require religious organizations such as the Archdiocese of Boston to file annual financial reports with the attorney general. It would also require all public charities to list real estate holdings as part of the financial reports. "
