Actually, Cdl. Dolan, It IS the Money

Maybe Bannon's class-less crack about 'filling the pews' was ...ahhh...class-less.  And maybe Cdl. Dolan's heated riposte was correct.

But whether the (Catholic) Bishops' Conference (USCC) gets Big Bucks due to 'refugees' and 'immigrants'--that's not in dispute.

...Simpson goes on to list the nine primary “Refugee Contractors” whom the “federal government pays …. to resettle refugees and asylees.” Among the nine is “CC/USCCB: Catholic Charities/U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops”.

According to the table provided — with figures from USAspending.gov — We see that from 2008 to 2015, the Catholic Charities/U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops shows funding received for refugee resettlement in an amount totaling over $2 billion dollars....

"Aha!" you say.  "Refugee" is not the same as "DACA immigrant!!"

Wrong, Bishop-breath.  Obozo re-wrote the rules.

...In December 2013, the Obama administration announced an in-country refugee program for Central American Minors (CAMs) that allows persons under 21 years of age from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador direct travel to the U.S. While those countries tragically suffer from high crime and poor economic conditions, merely being a member of an afflicted population does not raise a person to the definition of “refugee.” By offering this status, the Obama administration is deliberately expanding the definition, an action that has been called a “rogue family reunification program.”....

Thus the USCC's bleating and screeching about 'Samaritans' and "justice."  They would like to cover their income-generation with Good Terms and Double-Plus-Good Results and the Words of Jesus and the Bible.

Except that their "justice" flapjaw makes a mockery of the term "justice," because USCC doesn't give a flipped finger about "justice" for existing US citizens.  Think about a teeter-totter with only one occupant and you get the USCC's definition of "justice."

As in most controversies, the best advice is to Follow the Money.  Skojec did, above, and....well.....

    Yup. Been thinking this for a long time now

    Thats why I am now a cut loose Catholic. I no longer attend, nor give $
    We are nothing but speed bumps as the USCC Bishops speed down the road past us looking for cash.

  2. Ahem.

    Your job is to save YOUR soul. Get back in: go to confession, attend Mass, put some $$ into the basket, and pray for your priests and bishops.

    Cutting off your own damn nose will not prove anything to them, Miss....

    ...........One critic, Dr. Christopher Manion who has 50+ years experience in Latin America, said:

    Today the bishops number one issue is not abortion--it's amnesty for illegal aliens. Here again, Bannon embarrasses them. The Pew Trust says that thirty million Catholics have left the pews. Who's going to fill them? Archbishop José Gómez of Los Angeles, the bishops' point man on amnesty, is blunt: "Hispanics should fill them. Most are Catholic and hold 'deep conservative values'."

    ​Apparently the Americans who oppose amnesty are selfish racists. One bishop actually calls them "Pharisees and hypocrites." America’s Catholic bishops want what Gómez calls "the Next America"--a Hispanic one..........



    Dad, I have thought about what you have said for a few days ,and I have come to a conclusion
    and I am proud to be counted as one of thirty million Catholics who have left the pew.

    Let the Bishops reap what they sow.

  5. Well. I'd like you to think again. It's not "the Bishops" who will reap what YOU sow. They may have problems based on their OWN activities.

    Ignore them, save your own soul.
