Pope Francis sending money to Mexican congregations to help migrants

Pope Francis donated half a million dollars to help caravan migrants stranded in Mexico.

The money will come from the Peter’s Pence collection, which is used to “to help the poor in whatever way is possible.”

“In 2018, six migrant caravans entered Mexico, for a total of 75,000 people; the arrival of other groups was announced. All these people were stranded, unable to enter the United States, without a home or livelihood,” read a statement from the Vatican's Peter's Pence Office.

“In this context, Pope Francis donated US $ 500,000 to assist migrants in Mexico. This amount will be distributed among 27 projects in 16 dioceses and among Mexican religious congregations

The money should have gone to the Church’s victims of sexual abuse.

Hey Pope, please send billions of $’s every week to Mexico to fund and care for your people!

We can help by directing them to your funded cities.

Then there would be no real need to come America.

They can stay in Mexico and get the benefits provided by the generous Pope.

Fleeing poverty and violence is not an excuse for asylum! Asylum is a protection granted to foreign nationals already in the United States or at the border who meet the international law definition of a “refugee.”

According to international law, a refugee is an individual who is outside his or her country of nationality or habitual residence who is unable or unwilling to return due to a well-founded fear of persecution based on his or her race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.

Vatican City has been surrounded by a massive protective wall for centuries. In fact, the wall was first built in 852 A.D. to fend off Muslim attackers, was expanded to its current size in the 1640s.

The Pope is definitely a socialist and I suspect Marxist.

I stopped giving money to my Catholic church and send money to A Beacon of Hope Women Center. They provide help and counseling to women who are thinking of getting an abortion.

There are many fine charities to contribute to. The Catholic Church is no longer this.

Peter’s Pence is a separate annual fund drive (called by Catholics a ‘special collection’) specifically for victims of war, oppression, famine, etc, world wide. The pope decides on the distribution.

I have been withholding my Catholic charitable dollars from the whole parish-diocese-USCCB-Vatican pipeline for ears, and sending them to pro-life groups and independent Catholic whistle-blower media like LifeSiteNews instead.

slip a few bucks to a stubbornly holy seminarian friend who will make a fine priest. In the "authentically Catholic" sense.

sounds excellent....

it APPEARS from limited reading, that maybe the trend is now to close the baby murder factories (abortion ‘clinics’)
...?

at least, several have reportedly been closed in the last few months

The New World Order intends to destroy traditional America.

That's because we are in their way.
