Mentioned MLK Jr., Abe Lincoln, and “Social Justice” for America. No references about the Iranian Christian Pastor held hostage.

He shamelessly promoted illegal immigration.

No references to Jesus, God, Holy Spirit—well...he said “God bless America”.

Remember when, on occasion, the Catholic Church would criticize public school policy. I say remember because it DOES NOT happen any more.

The Catholic Church is providing social workers to public schools via Catholic Charities. Catholic Charities finds newly graduated idealistic social workers and hires them to the school district as consultants. They pay a poverty level wage ($18,000) and then add an overhead rate that would make a military contractor blush (90-110%).

Never heard about it you say?

Well everyone involved is very happy with the arrangement. The church gets massive and steady revenue -tax free. The school board for it’s part is buying the full faith of the Catholic Church.

12 years of catholic school here -not a hater by any means. But, I have no interest in this church, unless they sell stock and post a dividend. They do have a fantastic business model and no entity will profit more from global warming redistribution.

Undeniably... No NGO is better positioned to profit from global warming redistribution than the Catholic Church.

Political theatre, nothing more.

The breathless coverage reminds me of the press coverage of the Beatles when they came to the U.S. but now, like then, that’s entertainment.

Catholic Charities gets about 90% of its revenue from government. It was Joseph Bernardin who got the Church into government money in a big way, during his long years at the bishops’ conference. He knew the best way to make the Church impotent would be to get it addicted to government money.
