Zone1 Trump yanks millions from Catholic Charities amid Pope feud

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

Some might say getting into a public feud with the Pope is not exactly a good idea. This headline gave me pause though, because even though I have pretty much abandoned trying to elucidate the many reasons that Trump and his presidency are problematic, what does Trump hope to gain or what point is he trying to make by retaliating against Catholic organizations, particularly charities, by taking away their funds/funding? Could it simply be that in Trump's world, he perceives the loss of money, whether it's taken outright or the funding source is cut off, as the worst thing that could possibly happen to a person, organization, etc.? If, in his world, this is what he considers the absolute worse, then in a way some of the things he does sort of make sense but many of them still seem like nothing more than a shakedown, but I digress.

Does anyone think he's doing this simply to get back at the Pope due to his criticism of Trump? Remember, Vance has for several days now, been doing damage control and it seems like trying to mediate the tension between the two, but I get the impression that the only party that is miffed is Trump.

As well he should. Those so-called "Catholic charities" have been responsible for encouraging millions of illegal aliens to flood our borders.

The Trump administration has canceled an $11 million federal contract that helps shelter and care for migrant children who enter the United States without a parent or legal guardian — putting a decades-long program in South Florida at risk of shutting down within months.


Whoo-hoo, about damn time.

Catholic charities enabled more illegals during Biden's term than the other NGOs combined....No way they should be getting a nickel from the taxpayer.

It's about like defunding USAID.

The pope can sell off some of the 6B in gold he's sitting on to make ends meet.

Sounds the sort of thing Trump would do.

He seems to like punishing poor people, doesn't even need an excuse, but any rubbish excuse makes it better for him.

More like he's doing what i voted for....The Biden era NGOs should be laid waste.

Not me if it's my money being spent on them.....If you want to pony-up then be my guest. They take donations you know.

The church has more money than god. They dont need taxpayer funds.

The church has more money than god. They don't need taxpayer funds.

I looked it up the other day and the Vatican is sitting on around 6B in gold in Vatican city.....They have 20 million in gold reserves in the US.

The Vatican’s gold holdings are estimated to be between $4 billion and $6 billion, including both reserves and gold used in art and religious artifacts.

I feel the same way about the TRUMP war

NGOs like but not limited to Catholic Charities helped make possible the migrant invasion Into the US

End taxpayer dollars to all the private organizations

That's all you people know how to do when you are caught standing there with you dicks in your hands.

I don't think that the specific billionaires who largely funded Trump's campaigns care much for Catholics collectively.

And, of course, he's naturally gonna do the bidding of the people who purchased his political services, as he's said so himself in the past, admittedly.

I am paying for Iran getting it's shit pushed in....No issue at all with it.

I should not have to pay for Catholic Charities.....I believe in the separation of church and state.
