I don’t give to them and not anymore to Catholic Relief.....I’m a terrible person.
They’re NOT Catholic!
I just stumbled on to this one that I found really interesting:
Anti-Israel Restaurant Receives Funding from John Kerry’s Wife
The statements on the wrappers were taken from interviews with Palestinian Arabs, noted the Free Beacon. They are published without quotation marks and do not appear to be edited for accuracy.
Another section of the wrapper refers to the creation of Israel as “an intentional and ongoing offensive.” It also alleges that Israel deliberately blocks Palestinian Arabs from obtaining drinking water, opposes non-Jews from becoming citizens, and has assassinated or imprisoned all of the non-corrupt Palestinian leaders.
According to the wrapper, Conflict Kitchen is supported in part by the Heinz Endowment, which is chaired by Kerry’s wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry.
A spokesman for the Heinz Endowment told the Washington Free Beacon that it gave Conflict Kitchen a $50,000 grant last April to support its relocation to another site in Pittsburgh.
Conservative Catholics will claim their official, written doctrine opposes this. However that claim is meaningless. Jesus said we’d know a tree by its fruit.
I am among the millions of Catholics who have never given to CCHD, and never will. Aside from the numerous “scandals,” the very premise of the organization is wrong.
