Catholic Church getting out of the child trafficking business (partially)

Yesterday the US Conference of Catholic Bishops announced that they will no longer help to traffic children by ending their partnership with the Unaccompanied Alien Children program as well as other federal programs that resettle ‘refugees’ across the US. Of course they didn’t quite put it that way, but that’s what their actions and advocacy have done.

Naturally they will continue to work with ‘non-profits’ and ‘NGOs’ so they aren’t getting out of the business completely. On the flip side, since those organizations were largely paid by the feds and that revenue stream is drying up, hopefully those organizations will shut their doors as well.

    It always makes me wonder – how many people in those organizations are brainwashing into truly thinking they’re helping, how many are simply in it for the grift, and how many are in it for a chance at exploiting the kids?

    And yeah, without USAID, we’re going see a lot of “NGOs” going out of business.

    It was gut-wrenching to find out that Catholic Charities and many, many other major NGO’s were actively participating in Biden/Mayorkas’ mass migration and human smuggling operations. After watching so many mainstream NGO’s jump on the Biden Administration human smuggling feed train (which was most all of them), I find it very hard to look at any of them as deserving a single red cent of anyone’s money. I know they do good (e.g. Red Cross, Catholic Charities, Salvation Army, etc.), but for love of money they were willing to flush America down the toilet. Not sure I’ll ever forgive them of that. As for the Catholic bishops, they’re free to look elsewhere to fill their coffers. Lord knows my MIL gets charity donation mailings from the whole lot of them weekly and sometimes multiple times a week.

    clayusmcret, for the bishops and above, it has always been about the money.
    Those in the pews have never figured this out, and refuse to see it, and will defend their church to the very end.

    The problem with the Catholics is the recent pope. The other one from Germany was a lot better. But in any case the Catholics have not been on the side of the USA for a long time

    Before the Roman Empire fell, a church in the city of Rome developed an international(for that time) reputation for benevolence. When Rome fell, guess who the people started turning to for help. Guess where all the power-hungry politicians went to regain positions where they could order people around. Read somewhere that when religion and politics get together, religion ends up being abused.

    Good riddance to these grubby, civilization destroying bastards. As a lapsed Catholic, I brings me great pleasure to see these whores driven out of the business of facilitating “immigration” (read: invasion and trafficking). It’d be better still if they faced real repercussions (up to and including execution) for what they’ve done, aside from the loss of abusing our tax money for their own enrichment. My seething hatred of this scum cannot truly be expressed in words. The Catholics are certainly not alone in this, either. Lutheran organizations have been heavily involved, as have Jewish NGO’s, among others.

    Extending what Frank said, we’ve all heard the phrase “Power corrupts” … but power also attracts the corrupt. Which is more likely to rise in a hierarchy, a pious person or a power hungry person?

    From a religious doctrine perspective, my brother-in-law (who had a masters in theology) was fond of pointing out that even in the early church, Rome marched to a different drummer. Rome was nearly always out of step with the other early Christian churches.

    It’s a shame the Catholic Church doesn’t have any resources of its own to feed the hungry or clothe the naked….

    @Terry, apparently doing the Lord’s work requires extorting we the taxpaying public of the funds to do so. Funny how that happens. Think of how much more genuine charity would be possible if we weren’t being ripped off for upwards of 50% of every dollar we earn.

    But then it would be unthinkable to these vermin for each of us to decide how best to aid those we found needful of charity, rather than turning it all over to a large paid staff for top-down centralized control. After all, they couldn’t go about destroying entire countries and remaking the world as they want it through social engineering, if that ever happened..

    As long as Catholic Charities are feeding at the .gov trough, they WILL continue to move the kids…

    Don–It’s easy–lower level are the true believers, mid are for the grift, upper for the exploitation.

    clay–I’m not sure that their good works balance the scales. And yes, the Catholic Church or its affiliates do not need US taxpayer dollars.

    crazyeighter–I’m not Catholic, but that’s my observation as well.

    avraham–The recent Pope is just a reflection of the institution itself. That’s why they forced Benedict out.

    Frank–Agreed and good point on the history of it.

    BRD–Yes, the Catholics are just the most visible.

    Unferth–Exactly. It’s like that in any organization.

    Terry–I know, right?!?

    BRD–Excellent point.

    NFO–Unfortunately true. US taxpayers dollars should not go to any ‘charity’. If the public wants to, they can donate.
