Any human institution is corruptible, by nature of human greed. You have made the point in previous threads that somehow private charities can solve social issues, which they have failed at. If they were adequate then government programs would be wholly unnecessary. Government programs are not immune to corruption, but it is up to the citizenry to uphold and maintain lawfulness.
I wouldn't know that, I don't make the rules. I would imagine that secular charities are preferred over religious ones, due to the secular nature of the government. Trying to convert people they help may not sit well with all...

Have you actually read the works of Marx? I doubt it. Few people who describe what "communism" supposedly is have.
