US Catholic bishops sue Trump admin over suspension of refugee program funding - "For decades, the US government has chosen to admit refugees and outsourced its statutory responsibility to provide those refugees with resettlement assistance to non-profit organizations like USCCB," the lawsuit states.

The US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration after funding was halted for its refugee resettlement program. The lawsuit is based on the Refugee Act of 1980, under which the USCCB has worked with the government to resettle more than 930,000 refugees.

"For decades, the US government has chosen to admit refugees and outsourced its statutory responsibility to provide those refugees with resettlement assistance to non-profit organizations like USCCB," the lawsuit states. "But now, after refugees have arrived and been placed in USCCB’s care, the government is attempting to pull the rug out from under USCCB’s programs by halting funding."

Shortly after President Donald Trump took office, the State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration issued a suspension letter for the program. According to the lawsuit, USCCB has not received reimbursement from the State Department up to Jan. 24, despite assurances in the letter that it would. The conference is also arguing that the administration’s decision to cut off congressionally approved funding is illegal, according to Fox News.

USCCB has stated that the freeze has forced it to issue layoff notices to 50 employees in Migration and Refugee Services, more than half of its staff.

“The Catholic Church always works to uphold the common good of all and promote the dignity of the human person, especially the most vulnerable among us,” said USCCB president Archbishop Timothy Broglio, according to the Associated Press. “That includes the unborn, the poor, the stranger, the elderly and infirm, and migrants.”

“The conference suddenly finds itself unable to sustain its work to care for the thousands of refugees who were welcomed into our country and assigned to the care of the USCCB by the government after being granted legal status,” Broglio added.

Vice President JD Vance, a Catholic convert, has previously criticized the bishops' conference for resettling “illegal immigrants” to receive millions in federal funding, a reference to the resettlement program. In an interview last month, Vance argued that the conference “has, frankly, not been a good partner in common sense immigration enforcement that the American people voted for."

I've got no dog in the race since I'm not any type of Christian at the end of the day. Nevertheless, it's shit like this that really does make me think that there was some Satanic plot in the late 50s and early 60s to infiltrate the Catholic Church and destroy it from within.

Well I do.

As stated before these fuckers wanted me to be part of that church while I was homeless. BE... PART OF before helping me. I know all about the "Lics" as it is fully ingrained in the Latino Culture. One way or another they want their 10% pound of flesh they want from you.

Fuck those cunts.

The Only church that actually gave a fucking damn when I was down and out were THE LUTHERNS. They helped me get back on my feet WITHOUT asking me to join.
I respect them greatly.

And over the past 45 years I've seen the local "Lic" church having problems keeping pastors. The last one was caught for embezzlement.

Guess which church who gets money for charity from me...

I'm an eye for an eye type of guy. Do me wrong. One way or another you will regret it.

That's a good point. No-one says, "We're going to that hot new NYC restaurant, "Shlomo's". Even the least horrible Jewish food is really German.

"Yadid, you gotta come down to my third-and-a-half cousin's (on my mother's side, twice removed) club--it's called "Kvetch!" It's in Manhattan, and it's got everything--it's got golems (big and small, take your pick), it's got chol (you never felt any so fine, you won't believe it), it's got dybbucks (burial shrouds come in sets of ten!)..."

Ok, to be fair to them, I can see their point in this matter - they want some sort of commitment from you before you get their resources. It's a way of keeping the grifters and niggers out. Also, they still have the mentality they did prior to Social Welfare, where the churches ran nearly all of the charities; they didn't just give you free food and clothing - you were expected to work as and where you were able to do so, in exchange for charity. This is based on 2 Thessalonians 3:10.

You may have felt pressured by them and disliked it but if you want their resources they have an absolute right to ask something of you in return.

If I were a Catholic I’d really be questioning my faith in all of these snakes calling themselves bishops, priests, cardinals, and especially the pope

That’s the point of these retarded smear articles: trick the mentally challenged such as yourself. This article is just stupid. My eyes glazed over when JD Vance was described as a Catholic “convert”, which is obviously used to disparage his religiosity. Even Paul was a “convert”.

So were the 12. "Catholics" bitching about converts don't realize the converts are the only ones who were properly catechized.

WAAAAAHHHHH CATHOLICS BAD REEEEEEEEEEE

This post is like a gish gallop of anti-Catholic propaganda and bigotry.

I could respond to you, point by point, and provide an educational experience as to why you're wrong and where all this misinformation comes from, but something tells me you don't really care, you just want to hate on righteous authority. Since I'd be wasting my time with all the details I'll just cut to the chase for everyone else.

Christ is Lord, Christ established the Catholic Church and declared that the Gates of Hell shall not triumph against it. (Matthew 16:18-19) Because Christ is Lord his word is the immutable truth. Simple as.

Catholics.

There was. It was called Liberation Theology and Social Justice. The former came from Jesuits who have always been conniving nation-subverting bastards (BTFO of Japan, even expelled from Europe; long before Jesuits, Templars) and the current Pope is a turbo-Jesuit.

 

[Gottahavemysips]

Here's their fucking relief: if they love brown people so fucking much, head south of the border and do some goddamn missionary work. The only extent of government aid to tax-exempt religious organizations should be that tax exemption. It's truly ludicrous that such a lawsuit isn't immediately thrown out.

 

[X Prime]

Just to check, how many times did this conference sue Biden?

 

[Bonesjones]

Did you watch the video I posted? Clearly not.

Why would I listen to a Jesuit about anything? You let a society of converso jews take over your entire religion.

Becoming clergy doesn't magically make you immune to sinful acts, quite the opposite.

Being clergy makes you more inclined to sin? Lmao.

Francis hasn't done anything drastic enough to warrant such a heavy accusation.

He could announce himself to be Satan and you'd still defend him like a good little cuck.

It's interesting how the article mentions decades. You know what happened decades ago? The death of Pope Pius XII and the series of events that led to Vatican II (covered in Malachi Martin's Windswept House) and the rise of sedevacantism as a fringe position among some Catholics.

Isn't he the pope that was killed and replaced with a body double?

When your religion is so subverted by jews that you argue like one.

This suit should be used as evidence in a RICO case.

Lol, is this their first experience of owing the Church money? Is the incredible profitability of the Magdalene laundries a secret in the US? Or how rosary beads were traditionally made by certain religious orders? Did the US government actually think the Church does anything for free?

Guess so. It's funny to me how quickly red blooded capitalists turn into communists when religion gets involved. How dare religious people expect a fair wage for their labor?! IT SHOULD BE FREE!!!!

 

[Potion_Time]

I asked my priest a little more than a year ago why none of the money I tithed ever seemed to help the people in MY church despite multiple families being on food stamps and ride sharing to church, he gave me a hand wave answer about how it isn't the laity's place to question how the church handles charity programs and that I should pray for guidance.

I prayed and I felt the lord telling me to stop donating to a church that does not help the faithful.

If you're a catholic and you're still tithing, you're doing it wrong.

they're arguing they haven't been paid for services rendered

I'm going to throw you through a fucking window.

Fr. Chad Ripperger is not a Jesuit.

Ah yes the Jewish strategy of hyperfocusing on irrelevant details to avoid commenting on any of the damning stuff.

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

It's worth noting that a lot of the older Catholics are liberal due to the Democrats being the only party who cared about them. That ended when Reagan came around. I say this as a Catholic myself.

 

[Yamaha YM2612]

What about separation of Church and state?

Anyway, common heretical catholic L. Fucking retards

If I were a Catholic I’d really be questioning my faith in all of these snakes calling themselves bishops, priests, cardinals, and especially the pope

They can't for a few reasons

A) this kind of faggot shit is the point of catholocism. It's the same shit as Islam, ashkenazis, etc.

B) the pope is literally their spiritual father. They can't question him

The catholics go with the pharisee line of thinking that, because they have some special club (that they made up) god condones them and anything they do is ok

"Yes, we can molest little boys because we're in this made up club"

 

[Preacher ✝]

Ah yes the Jewish strategy of hyperfocusing on irrelevant details to avoid commenting on any of the damning stuff.

Ah yes the retard strategy of saying a bunch of stupid nonsense and then acting like its a win when no one wants to deal with your bullshit.
