Several years ago, I met someone familiar with the local office of Catholic Charities. He spoke highly of their program to resettle Muslims in our area. I was taken aback and asked about christian refugees. He dismissed this by suggesting that we need to extend our services to others as well. I thought of the Jews who protect and defend their own first. Apparently, that is not the case with the Catholic Church. You may recall that earlier this year, pope Francis visited Lesbos and returned with only Muslim refugees. (POPE FRANCIS ABANDONS CHRISTIAN SYRIAN REFUGEES, TAKES ONLY MUSLIMS TO VATICAN INSTEAD). However, you may have missed the following information in the above article.
After determining the “head count” of arriving refugees for a particular city and state, the local authorized resettlement agency (the affiliate of one of nine major voluntary agencies, or “VOLAGs,” who are paid more than $1 billion per year by the federal government to resettle refugees), is paid to resettle the refugees. Those payments include allocations for housing, food, education, and other financial benefits.
IOW, follow the money trail!!!
Bill O'Reilly addressed this story last night on the O'Reilly Factor. Whoever is in charge of Catholic Charities will face an uphill battle this year, as donations from parishioners will no doubt tank.
Thanks for the further info. We stopped donating to Catholic Charities here in the Albany Diocese years ago as under Hubbard it was just a branch of the Democratic party. As I understood it, money was given to organizations that also funded abortions or at least were favorable towards abortion.
So I was already highly suspicious of Catholic Charity activities and this confirms that we were right to NEVER donate.
Catholic Charities has become a typical leftist money laundering type of organization using our money to further the shady leftist agenda.
This Pope needs to go away soon.
