re: Why are conservatives ignoring Catholic Churches are the ones bringing in illegals

It’s amazing to me how religious conditioning can blind people to things going on right under their noses. Religion is nothing more than a control mechanism to keep the population herded into warring factions.

Incorrect, but I have head this argument for years.

where did the Bible or any Catholic teaching include taking tax payer money and using it for plane tickets.

Catholic Charities... "we're not doing anything wrong... but we are definitely using tax payer funds to buy plane tickets.Newsweek

as a christian (protestant) i of course believe we are to help migrants. but the Bible definitely did not lay down any use case for lobbying for money from the government to help those people break the law. and by break the law, i mean lie about asylum seeking. unless you're a conservative in Brazil, criminal from El Salvador, or fleeing Maduro, there is no such thing as asylum seeking from 90% of SA. they also are usually passing through a dozen of spanish speaking countries, which means the only thing they are actually fleeing are fellow brown people, which is pretty racist tbh.

it's not that they should not be allowed in. even if it's to seek a better life.
i think we are all sympathetic to that. it's that no American has the expectation that they can just get on a flight to France, UK, or walk into Canada and expect to stay and immediately get a free flight, housing, work, or debit cards.

we would all plan ahead of time for that to make sure we are obeying the laws of the land. Catholic Charities has specific lawyers and practices to prepare people to lie about asylum seeking and exploit that using non-believer money.


also something to note.... absolutely 0 democrats, Christian or not, complain about Catholic Charities or them receiving tax-payer funds. They will defend it to their deathbed.

they don't lift a finger of defense for Salvation Army, Samaritan's purse, Compassion International, etc.

There's a reason for that.

Definitely a person who annoys you.

The Church has served the poor and indigent since its inception. In fact, that’s precisely what Jesus preached. This isn’t some new cause the Catholic Church has taken up.

That's not what the Church is doing in this case and either you know it and are just foolishly trolling or you are ignorant.

The Church isn't "serving the poor and indigent" by funding mass illegal immigration, it could more easily do that by engaging in outreach where they live. Instead, they're playing geo-politics by funding the infrastructure which gathers the potential migrants together, half-assed shepherds them to the border and then urges them to cross illegally while also working with state and federal politicians to craft laws which funnel money to them (and other religious NGOs) to clothe, feed and house the illegals (as well as the added funding which goes directly to the illegals whether in cash payments or access to government programs).

They create the need for their service and call it charity, and the short-sighted like yourself fall for it.

It has been several years since any of my money has ended up in their accounts. Not going to contribute to the down fall of our country through our church.

Right after the verse about how to drive a car and call someone on a cell phone

Catholic Church was done for me when they emailed my SIL who is a widow with two kids under 2 years old and asked for a donation to baptize the youngest.

No thank you. Greasy

let me rephrase. where did it say to go to King David or Ceasar and request money from people in the other parts of the kingdom/empire to buy a camel and ship them to Rome or Mikhmoret Beach because they liked the weather there better?
