Every time I go to church they are grasping me for funds. Why?

Give the hyperbole a rest.
There is a collection at every mass, yes. But don't act as if the Church is forcing you to give any money. If you don't want to give any money, don't put anything in the collections basket when it comes by.
Out of a sense of charity, you should want to put at least something into the collection basket at each mass, even if it's nothing more than pocket change, that's okay.
And there is nothing wrong with the priest and bishops asking parishioners to consider funding the Church's many charitable programs.
Those programs need funding - and that funding comes from charitable Catholics.

Sorry, but I think you are a troll.
There is only one sermon per year in which they talk about supporting the charitable and ministerial work of the Catholic Church.
You see a LOT more of this from Evangelical Protestants.

Because many of the churches, do not follow the path of Jesus and they do what they do, for money only.

They want to check out your jewels - see if you're rich enough to enjoy cream with your oatmeal.
Then if you are rich
They have no qualms in taking
Alms for their missions
