Catholic Charities lays off 200 – half its staff – due to Trump cuts (San Antonio)

The head of the non-profit relief organization calls the cuts “brutal,” saying his agency is “in crisis.”

Catholic Charities, the Archdiocese of San Antonio’s wide-ranging relief organization, has laid off 200 employees due to drastic cuts in federal funding by the Trump administration, it announced last week.

The funding losses puts refugee housing at risk, with some families facing eviction without rent and food assistance.

The layoffs, which represent half the agency's staff of 400, occurred in the last 30 days. The affected employees worked mostly in refugee and asylum-related services, both federal programs that represent lawful immigration.

San Antonio is (soon to be was) a major Sanctuary City. And Catholic Charities was a part of that wrongdoing.

Earlier I posted about the 53 illegals killed in San Antonio. I have no doubt San Antonio and Catholic Charities have blood on their hands.

........

The President called that an invasion and unlawful but definitely the Deep State used the Swamp words refugee and asylum.

It must be nice to be able to make a career out of destroying the country.

Catholic Charities and The US Conference of Catholic Bishops were getting paid millions by the feds to engage in human trafficking across the Mexican border.

we have something like this in the neighborhood where I work. It used to be called Farm workers ministry, or something like that then they changed it to something unnoticeable. But basically it is where they would move illegals around. I went inside one time and I saw Cesar Chavez and Martin Luther King murals on the walls and everything on poster said.”votar” and immigracion”, they literally had baby strollers with food and milk and everything wrapped up in cellophane in big bows in a big row like a car lot. Where you could pick up your baby stroller and get signed up for WIC. It had absolutely nothing to do with jesus it was just about getting illegals into the United States so they could start donating to the church.

Oh, so you read Jefferson's letter to a pastor telling him that the government would not stick their nose into what the church was doing?

Instead of following God they took Cesar's gold and did his biding. Now God is angered.

============================================

I would bet that many of those clerks at Catholic Charities knew that they might get canned.

Much of the U.S. foreign aid to the PITHOLES of the world do go through Catholic Charities because of their record of honesty.

And yes, Jesus KNEW that Judas would betray Him so ... why.....?

And He knew that St. Peter would be a good Pope Number one.
St. Peter said that he didn't deserve to die as Jesus did so he was crucified UPSIDE DOWN.

Tell Comrade Pope to dig in deep into his trillions and come up with a few million for his faithful former government suckees.

As a Catholic, I say Thank you, pres Trump! Catholic “Charities” has not been a charity for many years-charities should be forbidden from getting any taxpayer or other govt funds, period...
