Catholic Church Shuts Down Refugee and Migrant Aid Programs
[BREITBART] The U.S. Catholic Church is shutting down two of its migration programs amid pressure from ordinary Catholics and the U.S. government.
Not so much pressure as discontinuation of funds, I imagine. Did the feds tell them couldn’t continue the program using parishioner donations? On the other hand, with the flow of illegals into the country almost completely stopped, to whom would the programs minister?
''A very sad day has dawned,'' wrote Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, in an April 8 op-ed for the Washington Post. He continued:

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) had to make the gut-wrenching decision this week to end our work with the federal government to resettle refugees and coordinate support services on the government's behalf for unaccompanied children entering the United States. Our programs — among the nation's largest and longest-serving refugee resettlement efforts — will shut down by the end of the fiscal year.



This is a painful end to a life-sustaining partnership the Catholic Church in the U.S. has had with our government and that has spanned decades across administrations of both political parties.

The retreat comes after voters — including many Catholics — picked President Donald Trump
...Never got invited to a P.Diddy party...
to end the federal government's very unpopular policy of importing workers, renters, and consumers into the nation's communities.

That ruthless economic policy had imposed poverty, lower wages, higher rents, and chaotic diversity on many American communities which were already suffering from the loss of jobs and investment. The church-backed policy also led to the deaths of thousands of migrants colonists.

The Catholic Church with over $73 Billion in Tax-free assets, and over $3 Billion in Tax-free CASH On Hand, has the means and the mission to do it themselves.
