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.
Peters 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.

We once had a Pope that fought against Communists. Now we have a Commie Pope.
That’s only $6.66666666666 dollars each. Makes you wonder.
I would recommend a regime change at the Vatican.
The Commie Pope needs to keep his nose out of American affairs.
Eternity for your soul does NOT depend on this Pope....don’t let him destroy you....the Catholic Church is WAY BEYOND this guy.
Episcopalians are just as bad.
The left-wing fraud is gonna KEEP ON until we have to send some missiles through the Vatican.
Thank God for the Reformation.
Could not have said it better.

......
$6.66 each. Hmm
You are exactly correct. Membership in the Catholic Church has noting to do with salvation and may prevent salvation. Martin Luther was correct that the papacy is anti-Christ. Dump it. Get out. Salvation comes only through a belief in. Jesus Christ and nothing else. Stop making it complicated.
The pope isnt doing anything unusual as far as his church goes. The whole Catholic Church lobbies to erase Americas borders
I even heard a caller on catholic radio say it was good that Protestants are losing their majority status in US. So it seems to be all part of a plan
Episcopal? Not sure you will like it. Political correctness has taken over a lot of those churches. Could also check out some protestant bible-believing churches with locally accountable ministers and actual sermons. They still exist believe or not. I was Catholic and switched long ago.
I know one more sitting in this chair.
Let’s use the money to fly them all to the Vatican.
I hear Italy has a problem with migrants. Why doesn’t he give the money to Italy? Why not invite them into the Vatican state?
I used to be Catholic. I don’t know if I could stay in the church with the pope actively trying to undermine my country.
Martin Luther was right.
Being a Catholic means following the pope. Theres a word for Christians who decline to take orders from the pope: Protestants
Thank God for the Reformation

Pope Francis by his continuing social engineering pontificating and attempts to equalize the mono theistic claims that Islam honors the same Judeo Christian deity. Is only encouraging the continuing attacks and murders of African and Asian Catholics as well as attacks elsewhere including Russia, France, even California and destruction of their churches in Sri Lanka. by Islamic followers.
When Francis began decrying the sale and use of arms which Christians could use to defend themselves or warn the faithful not to proselytize or be fundamental to discourage conversions. Such comments are used by Islamists because they appear to support Islams mono theistic claims That is the way Islamists interpret the Pope’s remarks. Seemingly supported by Francis’s refusal to condemn or refute when those theological Islamic claims authorizing murder, deceit and deceptions are used while committing these atrocities becomes the unintended result..Then winds up making a point of honoring it and placing it on an equal level because of that claim. Is leading to misguided conversions which is the result of my so called Pope playing games with this so called mono theistic cult and a serious fracture within Christianity and The Roman Rite .
What should happen is this

Protesters Question Archbishop’s Loyalty To US
Protest LA Archbishop Jose Gomez Residence
Dozens of protesters have shown up at Archbishop of Los Angelus Jose Gomez residence. Many carrying American flags and bearing signs questioning Gomez’s loyalty to the US not Mexico along with many signs demanding equal rights for American citizens in Mexico.
The protest was apparently triggered by the clerics decision to push forward with his predecessors decision the disgraced Cardinal Mahoney by offering amnesty thus citizenship to Mexicans who crossed the border illegally. While thousands of Americans in Mexico suffer under 2nd class citizenship unable to own property let alone able to participate in Mexican elections while living there legally in Mexico.
