This is long overdue!

 

I'm 100% behind this request.

Concerned Catholics are asking the DOJ to look into the actions of multiple Catholic related individuals and entities and their relationship and actions in response to government funding.

. . .

Prominent Catholics ... have sent the following letter to Vice President JD Vance:

<snip>

Many Catholics believe the USCCB, Catholic dioceses, Catholic Charities, Catholic Relief Services, and all NGOs that have received government funding through the Catholic Church must make a full disclosure of how the funds were used. For example, it was reported that the Diocese of Fort Worth, TX, which has received over 1 billion dollars in federal funding, partnered with the Islamic Circle of North America that has ties with terrorist organizations.

Although the USCCB has argued that it has used federal funds primarily to help resettle vetted refugees and immigrants, one wonders if the USCCB exercised due diligence in respect to those whom they settled. How many illegal immigrants did they assist? Did any of the funds end up in the hands of cartels who are involved in criminal behavior such as sex trafficking and the smuggling of Fentanyl? What did they do to protect vulnerable children and women?

In fact, most faithful Catholics are happy that it seems that USAID will no longer be using the USCCB to help settle refugees and immigrants. It grieves us a great deal to suggest that the Church cannot be trusted, but we fear that is the case.

There's more at the link.

As regular readers will know, I served the Catholic Church as a priest and chaplain for several years, until the American bishops' abysmal, immoral, disastrous mishandling of the clergy youth sex abuse scandal led me to walk away.  I saw at first hand how many Catholic organizations had become so focused on the worldly aspects of their mission that they'd almost forgotten the Divine.  Some were no longer ministries - merely charities, and pretty secular ones at that.  What's worse, over the past couple of decades they have become one of the principle architects and enablers of illegal alien migration into this country, abandoning what should have been their primary national loyalty in the name of transnational secular humanism.

I hope and pray the Vice President will follow up on this open letter, and do something about it.  If you'd like to add your name to the list of people seeking intervention, you can sign a petition here.  I've already added my name.

Hmmm . . . could we camouflage Elon Musk and a few of his D.O.G.E. assistants in cassocks, and sneak them into the next meeting of the Bishops, to penetrate their computer network and see what they've been up to?  It might cause an unholy row, but then, right now that's the point, isn't it?
