    Summer of Discontent for US Catholic Bishops! Why? Trump Not Listening to Them!

    Summer of Discontent for US Catholic Bishops! Why? Trump Not Listening to Them!

    09/22/2019 ~ Ann Corcoran

    The filthy rich US Conference of Catholic Bishops is at odds with the Trump Administration over immigration policy—so what else is new!


    “America welcomes refugees; that is who we are, that is what we do.” Vasquez chair of the U.S. bishops’ Committee on Migration is telling Trump.


    Here is a long (too long) recitation of everything the President is doing to annoy Catholic Bishops, but one thing is missing and that is that the Trump Administration has reduced by tens of millions the boodle the Bishops get from the US Treasury!
    Could that be the real reason they are so hot under the collar?

    From America magazine,
    Trump administration at odds with Catholic leaders on immigration policies

    This has been the summer of discontent for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops on U.S. immigration policy. Since June the U.S. bishops have released more than 10 statements reflecting their displeasure with a broad range of White House decisions on immigration.

    The U.S.C.C.B. has criticized the administration’s treatment of migrant detainees, especially children, challenging policy that has resulted in the separation of families and led to inhumane conditions at detention sites. It has resisted White House plans to rewrite asylum rules and to allow temporary protected status for vulnerable migrant communities to expire, and it has deplored proposed cuts to foreign aid that bishops say will only drive more migrants to the U.S. border.
    [….]

    On Sept. 13 the U.S.C.C.B. weighed in on immigration again, this time on plans that critics charge will mean the end of the United States as a safe haven for the world’s refugees.
    So get this, large numbers of Catholics are supporting the President!

    Ethics professor Heyer with the Pope. Catholics who support Trump are “ignoring their bishops.”

    Resistance to the president’s immigration policies is high when measured among all Catholics, but white Catholics offered Trump 56 percent of their vote in 2016 and a majority of white Catholics—51 percent—still maintain a favorable opinion of the president—many among them presumably support White House immigration proposals.
    Those who do are not only ignoring their bishops, said Kristin Heyer, discussing the subject via email, they are endorsing positions at sharp odds with church teaching on migration and its call to protect the lives and the human dignity of migrating people.

    Ms. Heyer is a professor of theological ethics at Boston College.

    “The Catholic social tradition recognizes the right of sovereign nations to control their borders,” Ms. Heyer said, “but the right is not understood to be absolute. In the case of blatant human rights violations, the right to state sovereignty is relativized by the tradition’s primary commitment to protecting human dignity.”


    [….]

    “As the Catholic Church prepares to celebrate the World Day of Migrants and Refugees” on Sept. 29, “we are reminded of Pope Francis urging us all to work for a ‘globalization of solidarity’ with refugees, not a globalization of ‘indifference,’” the bishops said.
    It is long, so you can read the rest yourself by clicking here. Catholics should definitely read it so you know the entire litany of complaints the Bishops have with the Prez.

    Absent from the article is any mention of the fact that the USCCB is one of the largest ‘non-profit’ recipients of taxpayer dollars going to what they call their “migration program.”

    Gee, I wonder how the humanitarians are managing with a budgetary loss of $24 million in one year!

    From a recent financial statement (page 10). This is only the federal tax dollars the USCCB receives for its migration services. They receive many millions more for myriad programs they run for the federal government.






    Holy moly! Their revenue received from the US Treasury dropped by nearly a third in one year ($24 million went poof!).


    The disingenuous Leftwing media is never going to mention that there is TAXPAYER funded payola involved in the USCCB’s supposed ‘Christian charity,’ so I guess I will just have to keep repeating myself!

    America is NOT the dumping ground for the entire worlds population or their problems.

    We are NOT their ATM machine.

    DEFUND THE CHURCH AND STOP GIVING THEM OUR TAX DOLLARS AGAINST OUR WILL!

    These foreigners can get their "human rights" on their soil.

    No more immigration from anywhere!

    Give these countries a "Comprehensive Plan for Reform" and get them on the path to birth control, education, peace and prosperity where they live!

    Bringing them here solves nothing!
