sara...I am not trying to bash Catholics...never have, never will.
I’ve been reading (will try and find thread and other article links...FReepers may be able to help me, here)...that the Catholic Charities is set up similar to the BCFS ...the faux Baptist group that, like you said, has received hundreds of millions in fed grants.
I think the *Baptist* churches that are affiliated with the grant groups are (liberal) General Baptist, and not Southern Baptist. FWIW. FReepers can correct me on that.
1. I'm not Sara.I'm her mom.Hense my name, sarasmom.
2. There are any number of reputable sources that have extensively researched and sourced data about the supposedly religiously based NGO’s, that are harvesting hundreds of millions of Federal grants every year, yet are not affiliated with any specific denomination or group of churches, nor are they involved in any direct charitable activities.
3.If you care enough to look into it, and actually ask around amidst your own circles of knowledge,(assuming you have them) you might discover there is a very tangled web involved with these unaffiliated NGOs, that receive a hell of a lot of taxpayer funded cash grants from the feds.
As of mid 2014:
US Conference of Catholic Bishops, and/or, US Catholic Charities $70,000,000.00 (lazy slackers//# sarcasm!)
Southwest Key Programs Inc $122,000,000.00
Baptist Child and Family Services $270,000,000.00
Start by simply asking leaders of your own local church, and/or members of other churches in your local community, if they have been contacted by/or are affiliated with, any of these three organizations.
Ask friends of friends to ask.
The feds hate it when we citizens speak quietly amongst ourselves, and verbally compare notes, instead of simply consuming the proffered information. If you are seriously curious in finding the truth about what is happening, you have to talk to real live people, not just read what is fed you.
