You may scoff at this, but I am a Catholic monk and helping others is why we do what we do.

I don't believe there are many readers scoffing at your revelation. I think you are an unsung hero!

A few years ago I had helped a disgraced American pastor come to China as an FT. That pastor had gotten himself into trouble by allowing desperadoes who had lied to him about not having pedophile offenses to live in a trailer parked on land that belonged to his church. His local congregation turned on him for that. He had also committed adultery, in a moment of weakness caused by his problems with his church, with a female member of his congregation. He had confessed to his wife, but nonetheless his wife divorced him.
Now he continues to be very happy In China, teaching English and being wed to a Chinese teacher of English. I'm sure he's sensible enough not to preach religion to his students.
