Why should the US taxpayers be forced to "grant" them money?
If we wanted to be done with grants in their entirety, I'd back that as a thing 100%. But as long as grants exist, and if we believe it's a good route to solve some problems, you can't really limit who has access to grants as long as they apply and meet qualifications.
I'd be fine with 0 federal grants. You think that's realistic? Heck, even states have to apply and receive grants as a part of certain transportation bills.

Why can't a 503c entity raise funds from private donors, only, without assistance from US taxpayers?
Or are you saying corporate entities and government entities have access to federal grants, but 503cs don't?

Your spelling is terrible.
This is an example of how Congress spends our money while knowing that most of us would be against it. I don't think we can "vote" our way out of this kind of problem.
Once Islam reigns supreme over the USA, we taxpayers will no longer have to see our tax dollars spent on Christian Church initiatives. Islam will solve that problem for us, God Willing.

I am amused when you all try to separate this from the actual church.
I'll admit it's hard to, but it's not "run" by the Church. It's run by a federation attached to the Church. And CCUSA is a further arm of that.
And like most grand scale non-profit orgs, it's bloated, has different interests than the church, etc.
I know a lot of Catholic who straight up avoid giving to anything connect to CCUSA.

present.
It's been a quick minute since I've seen a Catholic bashing thread again
Although I haven't been looking for them.
I agree with your thoughts on this topic.
Others will not agree just because Protestants protest

Congress could pass legislation tomorrow limiting any taxpayer funded grants to medical or scientific research only…or however we want to restrict it.
The fact that we were basically paying for the immigrant invasion really pisses me off.

You need to go watch some of the older clips of Ben Bergquam and Oscar Blue Ramirez when they were videoing/documenting the hoards of illegals heading to the US through the Darien Gap in Central America. There were numerous Catholic charities and the IOM (a UN agency) helping the caravans of illegals get through the Darien Gap.

Why the frick do religious groups get grant money? Really why do any non profits get government money?
The Catholic church was grifting government dollars long before the learing center and feed the children programs in MN.

100%. Would have to lower taxes and allow people to support non-profits to solve problems with their own dollars. This should be how we do it.
But government wants more control and power to a point. They want more of your tax dollars that THEY dole out and control.
Like Champagne said, we have to vote our way out of this. This is just smaller government. Our government doesn't want "smaller government."

Yeah, I don't know why it would be controversial for a politically active person to write their Congressperson and insist that these particular taxpayer expenditures to religious organizations for these particular purposes is offensive and we want it stopped.

All churches and charities should be taxed

This is an example of the Marxist take over of institutions. One by one they will “purchase” or intimidate American institutions into submission. Smithsonian, judiciary, educational system, post office, unions…and to make up the rest, import the 3rd world by the millions and soon America doesn’t exist anymore.

As a Catholic, we can disagree with prudential decisions of the church. From what I understand, these grants have been stopped. As of 2025.
And if you care, the USCCB was spending more on immigration than they were getting in grants.....the church was spending it's own money alongside the grant money.
Now, we can still disagree with all of it, but let the conversation be honest.

Yes, churches can be tax exempt, but We the People do not want our tax dollars to be paid to any church for the purpose of serving any US Govt interest, such as refugee relief or feeding the poor or any such purpose BECAUSE IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

So, get involved in politics - do something about it. Write your Congressperson. Find out how and why your Government is helping the Catholics import the sickest most needy non English speakers into your country.
Take action.

The UN, Red Crescent, and Associated Press are 100% complicit as well.

Nope. Just pointing out that you misspelled Champagne.
