Does the Catholic Church do more to help the poor and suffering than any other religion?

I'm a Catholic. I'm proud of the track record of Catholic charities. However, two other very charitable religious groups that many people overlook is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) and the Mennonites. As I said, I'm proud of Catholic charities, but am also impressed with the istance rendered by Mormons and Mennonites in times of crisis. In times of real crisis, the Catholics have been there...and so have the Mormons, Mennonites, Lutherans, Episcopalians and others. In my area, the Episcopalians have many charities. The really nice thing is seeing people work side by side to help others, despite denominational differences.
