SO as expected, HATE RULES.
AMERICA SUFFERS.

In this instance which AMERICANS are suffering?

 

[Unkotare]

Yea
Who cares about the children of Brown People

People are not colors.

 

[rightwinger]

People are not colors.

Unfortunately, they are

That was already being done from DOGE. "Catholic Charities" was one of the main proponents of facilitating an invasion of The United States.
Yeah, they're defunded. Does the RCC want to attach themselves to that?
If so, that's their bad.
Either way, "Catholic Charities" is not getting any more American money to support invasion of America.
Neither are the others on that list.
The runner-up was Jewish, I'm pretty sure.

This is totally not related to Trump's fight with the Pope. Cancelling federal contracts the day after with Catholic entities helping others is totally a coincidence.

Trump yanks millions from Catholic Charities amid Pope feud​

The Trump administration has abruptly canceled a multimillion-dollar contract with a Catholic charity that houses and cares for migrant children amid the president’s feud with Pope Leo XIV.

Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami has helped provide vital services to unaccompanied minors for more than 60 years, but could now shut down within a matter of months after the administration canceled an $11 million federal contract.

The decision comes amid tensions between President Donald Trump and Pope Leo, the leader of the Catholic Church, over issues such as migration and the war in Iran. Trump has launched a series of attacks against the American-born pontiff, including suggesting Leo was “WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy.” The 79-year-old president also received intense criticism after he shared an image depicting himself as Jesus Christ on social media.

Writing for the Miami Herald, Thomas Wenski, archbishop of Miami, said it is “baffling” that the government would want to shut down a service that has helped thousands of children who entered the U.S. without parents or guardians since the 1960s.

“The Archdiocese of Miami’s services for unaccompanied minors have been recognized for their excellence and have served as a model for other agencies throughout the country,” Wenski wrote.

“Our track record in serving this vulnerable population is unmatched. Yet, the Archdiocese of Miami’s Catholic Charities’ services for unaccompanied minors has been stripped of funding and will be forced to shut down within three months.”

The Office of Refugee Resettlement, part of the federal Department of Health and Human Services, has had an arrangement for years for Catholic Charities to house immigrant children. The government reached out to the charity in March about the proposed cancellation of funding, the Miami Herald reported.

A spokesperson for the department said the decision was because the number of unaccompanied migrant children in the agency’s care was “significantly lower,” at 1,900 under the Trump administration, compared to a peak of around 22,000 under the Biden administration.

Zone1 Thread 'Trump yanks millions from Catholic Charities amid Pope feud'

Today at 5:57 AM

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...

Trump gets pissy and takes it out on the kids.

Trump in a nut shell.

But this would also show MAGA going after the religious beliefs of others.

CC has been engaged in human trafficking for decades.

They need to go away.

 

[IM2]

Of course not. It's what the spokesperson said.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

 

[Rambunctious]

Catholic Charities is an Oxymoron.... there is nothing charitable about it... Catholic Charities is a money making endeavor... try getting charity at a Catholic Charity hospital.... ain't gonna happen no matter how poor you are...
Remember The Vatican city is the richest city on earth....

Hilarious as leftists have been declaring war against two religious groups in this country for how long now?

 

[The Duke]

In this instance which AMERICANS are suffering?

All of them from what "Catholic Charities" did.
All the other NGO bastages too.

No clue what you are Rambling over. All I see is you defending Trump attacking the Catholic Church because the Pope doesn't kneel at his feet.

 

[Zincwarrior]

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

And helping adopt children, run charity hospitals, run schools for poor people, and run charity hospices. But you know, MAGA!

Didn’t you guys want to do away with the church because of the molestation scandal? Trump is answering your prayer. Thank him.

Wow, MAGA has finally gone to its antiPapist roots. Good job!

 

[1srelluc]

But you know....The US taxpayer.

It's bad enough with the MN and CA fraud but now we are supposed to support a religious charity?

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.

Aren't Cathollic charities supposed to be privately funded by Catholics? With food stamps, section 8 and all that other free stuff provided by the government, wtf are they funding Catholic charities?

And now the AntiPapist No Nothing Party reaches its full stride.
