Pope Francis donates $500,000 to migrants at US border

Pope Francis donated $500,000 to Mexico-based projects to help migrant communities as media attention has faded, the Vatican said Saturday.

The funds will be distributed between 27 projects associated with 16 Mexican dioceses and congregations, all of which asked for help to continue providing food, lodging, and basic necessities to those fleeing their home countries through Mexico.

“In recent months, thousands of migrants have arrived in Mexico, having travelled more than 4,000 kilometers on foot and with makeshift vehicles from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala. Men and women, often with young children, flee poverty and violence, hoping for a better future in the United States. However, the U.S. border remains closed to them,” said a press release from Peter's Pence, the organization handling the funds.

Peter’s Pence's collections are funds earmarked "to provide the Holy Father with the financial means to respond to those who are suffering as a result of war, oppression, natural disaster, and disease," according to its website.

The money is specifically meant to aid the 75,000 migrants who arrived in Mexico in 2018 as part of six caravans, according to a press release from Peter's Pence.

Stay away from any “church” that belongs to the commie-promoting National Council of Churches.

Don’t go to the Episcopalians. It’s much worse. Lesbian pastors. Bishop Vickie Gene Robinson. Rainbow flags. They revel in their apostasy by any Christian standard.

Could also check out some protestant bible-believing churches

Yes, I like those, went to one in the SF Bay Area that was inspiring and life changing. Perhaps we have one here in Spokane.

No. That’s silly

The Catholic Church just like any institution run by people- who are ALL imperfect, is under attack at the moment

The enemy will never prevail against it. That’s Gospel

This will pass

But anyone promoting illegal activity is behaving OUTSIDE of Church teaching

Just like obama was president but acted not only OUSIDE the constitution but against it

Dunno ‘bout them, but the Lutherans brought all those somalia invaders into Minneapolis. These phony religions are nothing but political meddling machines. And none of them have ever been, nor are they now, Christian.

My son is 16.

I’m just now realizing I’m no longer in control of who he will be.

My only job now is to embrace it.

That’s a good thing to mention because it’s an indicator. I’m sure they do.

Did he get the funds tearing down and selling off the massive wall that encompasses Vatican City, and firing all the heavily armed swiss guards?

The Catholic church is the problem! They tell these people that don’t have a pot to piss in that they can’t have have sex without making a baby, but refuse to pay the consequences of their actions. Send every freaking “MIGRANT” to the Vatican.

Pope Francis didn’t donate a SINGLE DIME. He stole money that the Faithful contributed to evangelize the world and gave it away to ensure that it is easier to bring socialists, terrorists, gang members and uninvited illegals into America, and make it more attractive to do the same to millions more who will now show up illegally on our doorstep. The Church needs to do more evangelizing to peoples souls... and stop helping them break the laws of America. You want to enjoy the benefits of America? Lets see you do it through the legal path.


Repeat LOUD and OFTEN...…….

Maybe I’ll switch to the Episcopal church.
............................................
The Episcopal Church is a CINO organization and has been for many decades. It has become a disgrace to all of Christendom. Meanwhile this fool of a Pope has revealed himself to be a minion of Satan and is consciously working to destroy the RRC. Look for a huge decline in Mass attendance over the next few years. Here’s a statistical study of the devastation wrought by the Vatican’s “Satan Council”(1962-1965).
