Why be a "hater"?


You said:

Certainly the POPE understands and I am not a Catholic.

Where are the Churches and why are they silent?


So I ask again:

Is your argument that the current Pope hasn't spoken about human trafficking?

Maybe your hatred of Catholics is the reason you prefer to remain ignorant. Have you donated to stop child trafficking?


I am assuming you have intimate knowledge of how this charity operates but I find it ironic that you're asking us to donate money to Catholic charities to stop child trafficking

What is the percentage of money that actually gets distributed rather than used to pay them selves like Goodwill

How much money does the Catholic Church actually provide to this charity since the Catholic Church only exist on donations given by others

Charity Navigator is a good resource for evaluating charities before donating money.

Charity Nav

Catholic charities usually rank very high. 93% of donations go to the needs of the poor, with a very low margin for admin costs, and a very high participation for volunteer non-paid workers.

Do a little research before you spout off anti-Catholic hate.

Here's a link talking about the Pope's message WRT your OP.

Maybe you don't "hate" the Roman Catholic Faith, but, the fact that you JUDGED the Catholics before you did ANY research shows that you are PREJUDICED.

Link is below. I doubt that you even bother to read it.

I had the same exact link loaded up

He's not prejudiced, he's just spun up in an emotional fit due to falling into a moral panic, repeating irrational talking points he's heard.

This is exactly the type of shite I've been talking about on here the past few days.

The Catholic Church as been a leading voice in combatting child trafficking for many, many years. example

You are upset because they haven't issued a presser addressing the merits of a B-movie about trafficking?

I agree on charity Navigator.

There are a few secular ones worth checking out too. Obviously Operation Underground Railroad is in the news (much to the chagrin of some). ECPAT has had some success, particularly in travel and tourism

I don't know what else is motivating your ignorance.

And it's not your first anti-Catholic post. If you don't like Catholics, just say so

They aren’t silent. Christianity is very much on the frontline of every bit of this fight.


One of the biggest facilitators of moving illegal immigrants is Catholic charities, they make hundreds of millions of dollars as government funded NGOs.

At the end of mass last Sunday, our priest said he usually doesn't do movie reviews but he encouraged everyone to see sound of freedom and to bring a friend.

There are a LOT of TigerDroppings active posters who constantly remind us around here how much they hold Catholics and the Roman Catholic Faith in VERY high disdain.

They are on an active DAILY campaign to bash Catholics and the Roman Catholic Faith.

Catholics around here are beginning to understand this and some are contesting these attacks. They can best do this by arming themselves with information about their own Faith. Here are some great resources for that:

The Catechism:

Catholic Answers website:

And now we get to see how to attack via re-defined/vague terms

At first they came for the Catholics, and I did not speak out, because I wasn't Catholic...

FWIW, I think you can find most denominations that have some charitable initiative related to child welfare. As the incidence of human trafficking began increasing, many have started to retool missions or spin out new organizations to address the problem

Nevertheless, every reaction has had some roll out time. It’s only recently that federal contracting regulations added anti-trafficking covenants

I also think it’s perfectly fine to have righteous indignation and demand many to take more action. That’s how all forms of society work. Constituent demands should drive and direct action

Your concern has led to discussions about different charities and evaluation of those charities. You aren’t demanding (or reporting) that the Pope be arrested. Your asking one church to take more action. That’s not panic; that’s participation
