    According to Faherty (2006), a composite of historical records from the first three centuries reveal that the Christian social welfare system provided an array of what we would call today both cash and in-kind goods and services (pp.116). Faith based social services started out as charity services in which the resources should be given generously but cautiously to the unworthy poor (McMillin, 2011, pp.485). This changed when the church and start started supporting each other and there was a three part solution which included autonomy for private agencies, cooperation among agencies, and both public and private, and financial support from the government for agencies that contributed to the public interest (McMillin, 2011, pp.485). This all started in the 1960s when church sponsored human services started to receive increased funding from the state (McMillin, 2011, pp.485). All of this happened for nearly half a century before there was a rise of government funding that drew human services and faith based groups closer together (McMillin, 2011, pp.487).

The Catholic Church was becoming corrupt, instituting indulgences, which took the very little money poor citizens had, promising them a one-way ticket to Heaven, and focusing their money on ornate cathedrals. In search of its original values regarding the poor, Catholics were finding their own way to treat the impoverished, often times distinguishing the “deserving poor” from the “undeserving poor” based on how hard they worked, hoping to save money. The Catholic Reformation helped Catholics rediscover the idea that alms and charity to all poor were
