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."

Strip every bit of tax exemptions.

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.

When you can't defend the basic historical facts that make up your religion and decry it at "stupid nonsense", you've only exposed yourself as what you truly are. He literally condemned the words of Christ. So keep sucking jew cock because the pope tells you to.

 

[browserbowser]

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.

Something something mammon something something two masters...

 

[Joe_Welch]

shitposters online have a misguided desire for a Church that still does Inquisitions and Crusades.

Is that so wrong?

Sorry, Pope Faggot, your child sex slave op is closed.

Of course he would find fault with fighting and killing jews and Muslims that teamed to attack Christians.

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

For being Catholic? Well, martyrdom by the sword is kinder than martyrdom by the needle.

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

Honestly, it doesn't make me question my faith. Christ is still King, and He will remain King, regardless of what the bishops or even the pope himself does or says. Going all the way back to the apostles, you already had corruption and a love of money in Judas Iscariot, who the late Archbishop Fulton Sheen referred to as "The Patron Saint of Social Justice." Even St. Peter, the very first pope, was pretty spineless at times. And Jesus Himself warned us back in 1 John 2:18 that, "even now many antichrists have come."

There will always be corruption in the Church, but no amount of corruption can stop Christ's ultimate victory over evil.

Plus, it's really not healthy to obsess over Church politics. If you're spending more time fretting over the clergy than you are praying for them, you should really reevaluate your priorities and your confidence in God. Because when each of us takes our last breath and has to stand before Our Lord, you know who isn't going to be there at your particular judgment? The bishops who chose money over God. The priest who proudly spoke outright heresies. The cardinal who engaged in sacrilege or abused children. That's not to say there's no chance of them repenting and making it to Heaven, God willing. But when you're being judged by God, there isn't going to be anyone there for you to point the finger at and say, "But God, what about what they did?!" It's your judgment, and while you couldn't control the actions of others, you had full control in how you personally responded to their actions. That's what you'll be judged on.

So, I personally focus on what I can control, don't obsess over what I can't, and I leave the rest to God.

The pope is an open communist. Why is it any surprise that his priests are the same?

Is that so wrong?

It's not that I don't understand that desire. It's something I struggle with at times myself, but I know that no one truly comes to the Lord by force.

When you can't defend the basic historical facts that make up your religion and decry it at "stupid nonsense", you've only exposed yourself as what you truly are. He literally condemned the words of Christ. So keep sucking jew cock because the pope tells you to.

This is an example of my point. There is nothing about my faith stopping me from calling out the filthy kikes that killed Christ. You'd know that if you bothered to learn anything about the actual religion and didn't just believe what the jewish media told you to believe. Retard.

It's funny how people will talk about how the media is all full of liars and won't trust journoscum (who all deserve the rope) but the second someone reports on the Pope or bishops half of Kiwifarms becomes Android Raptor sockpuppets as if the journos who must face the wall suddenly aren't lying or asking loaded questions.

How interesting.

You've only dodged any point.

What about the ones running the Catholic church for over 500 years? What about the pope's that protected jews over Christian children those jews were ritually murdering? Not a moment of introspection, just you cucking to jews because the pope told you to.

You'd know that if you bothered to learn anything about the actual religion and didn't just believe what the jewish media told you to believe. Retard.

Lol, cry more. You do the Devil's work just like a good little shabbos goy.

Satan pulls out all the stops when it comes to attacking the Church. Speaking of which...

The jews know you hate them, they hate you too, but the only thing they hate more than you is Christ and his followers. So by manipulating your hate for them into hate for us they think they're killing two birds with one stone, making their enemies fight each other. It's deeply ironic that you are so blinded by your hatred of kikes that you cannot see the ones pulling your strings. It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

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

The based Czech way of doing things.

Christ established the Catholic Church

Didn't Jesus have a few choice words about hypocritical and money-grubbing church elders, you know, the sorts of people who have been running the church for most of its history?

Considering how Christianity itself got its start as an attempt at a Jewish Reformation I'm fully of the opinion that Martin Luther and the rest of the Protestants did nothing wrong by declaring the Catholic Church to be fake and gay, and I've seen very little evidence that tells me the Catholic Church has mended its ways considering its still the oldest, biggest, and wealthiest megachurch out there with all of the same issues as every other megachurch, just amped up to 11 due to its age and size.

Why would satan need to attack his own stronghold?

The jews know you hate them, they hate you too, but the only thing they hate more than you is Christ and his followers.

So what does that have to do with Catholicism which explicitly doesn't follow the teachings of Christ?

So by manipulating your hate for them into hate for us they think they're killing two birds with one stone, making their enemies fight each other.

You arent enemies of jews though, considering you follow the teachings of people who have made Catholics subservient to them in every way. Which you've yet to answer for btw.

It's deeply ironic that you are so blinded by your hatred of kikes that you cannot see the ones pulling your strings.

The only amount of irony here is your projection.

It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

So why do you follow a line of pope's that defend the murder of Christian children?

Didn't Jesus have a few choice words about hypocritical and money-grubbing church elders, you know, the sorts of people who have been running the church for most of its history?

If Catholics could read the Bible they might be offended by what you said.

Jesus directly said that God knows your heart and no action can absolve you of it. Yet here comes 2000 years of ritual nonsense to say otherwise, while also stretching any line in the Bible to incredulity to fill their pockets with gold.

 

[Preacher ✝]

I'm fully of the opinion that Martin Luther and the rest of the Protestants did nothing wrong

Spoken like someone who's understanding of Martin Luther and his protestant theology begins and ends with "selling indulgences is bad."

Have you read the entire 95 theses declaration and considered its theological implications? Are you aware that the Catholic Church agreed that selling indulgences was bad and it was formally forbidden in 1567 by Pope Pius V?

The dispute with Luther had way more to do with his radical departure from accepted theology than it did the indulgences, and he was still given the chance to denounce his heretical views and be forgiven. Protestant propaganda likes to harp on the indulgences because its easier for people not versed in theology to understand that concept, and they can conveniently neglect to mention what Pope Pius V did about it.

So what does that have to do with Catholicism which explicitly doesn't follow the teachings of Christ?

You continue to demonstrate your lack of knowledge when it comes to Catholic Theology. You were told a lie and believed it wholeheartedly.

You arent enemies of jews though, considering you follow the teachings of people who have made Catholics subservient to them in every way. Which you've yet to answer for btw.

What more do I need to say? I've called them kikes, the murderer's of Christ, the synagogue of satan, etc. You just keep saying the same bullshit. Are you just trolling?

So why do you follow a line of pope's that defend the murder of Christian children?

Yea you are just trolling. Stop being a faggot.

You keep repeating lies because introspection is hard.

You could stop doing their bidding and following them lockstep because a bunch of pedophiles told you to?

Its not trolling to point out historical facts
How about some basics?

Pope Benedict XVI
In his book Jesus of Nazareth, Part II, Pope Benedict XVI declared that there is no basis in scripture for the claim that Jewish people were responsible for Jesus' death.

In 2017, Pope Francis met with Jewish leaders to commemorate the decree that exonerates Jews of killing Jesus. He has also said that the charge that Jews were responsible for Christ's persecution has strained relations between the Catholic and Jewish faiths for centuries.

Wow not only do they directly lie, they contradict themselves and conspire with their direct enemies.

We decree, therefore, that Christians need not be obeyed against Jews in a case or situation of this type, and we order that Jews seized under such a silly pretext be freed from imprisonment, and that they shall not be arrested henceforth on such a miserable pretext, unless — which we do not believe — they be caught in the commission of the crime.

Those silly jews can't be guilty of child sacrifice! Even when it keeps happening for hundreds of years after and they admit to it. So please point out any instance in which Catholicism has put itself on the line against jews.

Yea you are just trolling. Stop being a faggot.

Nah you are just a butthurt cathcuck.

 

[Calvin Coolidge]

and the fact that LARPing shitposters online have a misguided desire for a Church that still does Inquisitions and Crusades.

DEUS VULT! Come on, if Western Christendom could have one eensy weensy Crusade, we'd solve so many problems. Might even reunify Christianity, undo a lot of shit the Reformation plagued us with and crush usury. I dream, anyway, but I'm just another LARPing shitposter

 

[Snekposter]

The dispute with Luther had way more to do with his radical departure from accepted theology

Yeah, and the Church said the same thing about Jan Hus, but unlike with Martin Luther the Holy Roman Emperor had no issues convincing the Holy Roman Emperor to janny that mess up for him.

Oh, and they said the same about John Wycliffe when he declared the Church had lost its way due to internal corruption and the seeking of worldly rewards.

Or the Waldensians when they allowed for lay preaching because after all, only the university-indoctrinated clergy (sound familiar to anything more modern?) can know the correct truth.

But hey, its clearly just that rabble-rousing heretic Martin Luther that's at fault and not systemic issues so massive they've finally irreparably broken the Church in two.

Have you read the entire 95 theses declaration and considered its theological implications?

I haven't even cracked open a Bible in my entire life and yet I'm still able to see with my own two eyes how readily the Church subverts Christ's teachings to its own ends. You and the rest of the Church going "But what about the theological implications!" comes off no different from everyone screeching about how Trump is bad because he's "violating accepted norms".

Won't someone think of the fundamentally corrupt institutions?

formally forbidden in 1567 by Pope Pius V

Fifty years, one sack of Rome, and an outright secession after the publishing of the theses, and a full four years after the Council of Trent got done talking and declared that Martin Luther might have had a point with some of the things he had said.

I don't know how you can look at the Pope's hand finally being forced after fifty fucking years of shit going to hell in a handbasket in Central Europe and claim any sort of moral high ground.
