The Catholic church tried to distance itself from Catholic Charities' human trafficking, but it participated in the massive profits.
Tony Seruga@TonySeruga

🚨 Catholic Charities appears to be the number one human trafficker in the world. They announced that they're suing the Trump Administration for cutting off their human trafficking money. The Biden administration gave Catholic NGOs over $2.9 billion in immigration-related (criminal illegal invaders) funding over the past 4 years. According to Forbes, Catholic Charities USA was the 13th-largest U.S. charity last year. Of its total $4.7 billion in revenues, Catholic Charities received $1.9 billion from government support, compared with $1 billion in private donations and $2.2 billion in other income.   The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Migration and Refugee Services lists 10 federal grants for migration and refugee services on its website, including eight from HHS (to provide services for newly arrived refugees; strengthen refugee marriage and families; unaccompanied alien children placement and reunification in the U.S.; a joint grant with Catholic Charities USA to provide training and assistance regarding human trafficking; a joint grant with the Lutheran group to address needs of refugee youth, children, and families, which was later supplemented to find homes for trafficked children; and another to provide services to adult trafficking victims); one State Department grant (resettlement services to newly arriving refugees); and one DHS grant (to process, receive, and place Cuban and Haitian parolees). An HHS whistleblower testified to Congress on April 26 that “the U.S. government has become the middleman in a large-scale, multibillion-dollar, child-trafficking operation run by bad actors seeking to profit off the lives of children.” judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subs… Many of these children are actually being drugged and trafficked. And while Catholic Charities is by far the number one human trafficker, including sex trafficking of young children, Lutheran Charities is a close second; however, even Jewish Family Services and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) are involved. It is dark, it is evil, and it is some of the most sinister sh*t I have ever seen. The Trump Administration will remove their 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. AND the administration will begin procedures for recouping that $2.9+ billion, which at this point, appears to have been 💯 stolen under false pretenses. A full forensic accounting is needed with a criminal investigation to follow. @CCharitiesUSA, save all of your receipts, emails, voicemails, text messages, day planner entries, diary entries, notes, financials, and all bank statements. 🚨 Catholic bishops sue over freeze in refugee resettlement funding thehill.com/regulation/cou…

@c54587 Academic “theologians” argue about the exact meaning of “perpetuity” in Quo Primum. Modernists reject the very idea of the supernatural and the possibility of personal supernatural holiness. So we box-checked phonies as bishops.

Marc The Evangelist
"Of course he can"? THIS statement, this view, is absolute nonsense, and contradicts the following Bull. For starters, read the following... "In addition, [by this Our Constitution, which is to remain valid in perpetuity We enact, determine, decree and define] that if ever at any time it shall appear that any Bishop, even if he be acting as an Archbishop, Patriarch or Primate; or any Cardinal of the aforesaid Roman Church, or, as has already been mentioned, any legate, or even the Roman Pontiff, prior to his promotion or his elevation as Cardinal or Roman Pontiff, has deviated from the Catholic Faith or fallen into some heresy: (i) the promotion or elevation, even if it shall have been uncontested and by the unanimous assent of all the Cardinals, shall be null, void and worthless..." Cum ex Apostolatus Officio - Apostolic Constitution of Pope Paul IV, 1559 Then consider the following... Cum ex Apostolatus Officio (Paul IV, 1559) explicitly declares that if any man — including a future cardinal or pope — has deviated from the Catholic Faith or fallen into heresy before his elevation, that elevation is null, void, and worthless from the beginning. No unanimous consent of cardinals, no acceptance of office, no time passed, and no declaration can ever make it valid. The man never holds the office. Period. Broader logic: Allowing a heretic to validly occupy the papal office means: 1- The Vicar of Christ can oppose Christ, 2- The pillar of truth can teach error, 3- The ordinary means of salvation can be steered by someone severed from the Church. This is a inescapable contradiction — incoherent at the root. Every workaround (“material pope,” supplied jurisdiction, “the Church will declare later”) is all nonsense and verbal duct tape. It does not resolve the absurdity of the view or the opinion, but rather exposes it.
Matthew Joseph@matthew_sede

Mr. Hogan: Can a heretic become pope? Fr. Despósito: Absolutely. Of course he can, why not? Fr. Despósito makes some very important distinctions that are often missed in today’s discussions

@EvanAG1999 @cathconclave The great leveling. It’s really nothing more than errors of Russia seeping into the Church. They didn’t elevate the laity; they tore down the Priesthood and indirectly, the Kingship of Christ.

Outside this church is a plaque detailing key years "Church interior reordered to facilitate the full, conscious and active participation of the faithful, reflecting the insights of the Second Vatican Council." Unfortunately, the reordering just looks very dated now...

St Leonard & Mary Catholic Church, located in Malton, North Yorkshire. Built prior to the 1100s, and became an Anglican parish during the Reformation. It was returned to the Catholic Church in 1971 as an ecumenical gesture, and is currently the oldest Catholic church in England.

When a "charity" receives 96% of its income from the federal government, it is NOT A CHARITY, it is a GOVERNMENT AGENCY... Progressives hate the mixture of church and state, until it benefits their desire to import people who hate us.
Maddie Rowley@Maddie_Rowley_

1/ This Catholic Charities shelter in Miami received 96% of its income ($29 million) from the federal government in 2022. It spent $14 million on "other salaries and wages." Further, it was UNLICENSED by the state of Florida at the time, yet ORR still contracted with them. Source: 7th Presentment of the Florida Statewide Grand Jury on NGOs from 2024

Homeless people are using dogs to test drugs for them on Skid Row in Los Angeles, California. Non-profit group Starts With One Today says dogs are being abused, thrown away, sold for drugs, neglected, and fed drugs to make sure there is no fentanyl. Animal advocates are ripping Mayor Karen Bass and other elected officials for not taking enough action. “We’re coming out here, risking our lives to help these dogs with no support from the government,” said volunteer Joey Tuccio.

@Mad_PicSnaps @Gun_Bunny_USMC @sentdefender I don’t understand whatever language you’re using and never served on a carrier so whatevs. The worst navy chow I’ve sampled were “elephant scabs” aka “veal Parmesan.” Even that wasn’t horrible.

Hey Jay... imma keep it hundo with ya, big dawg: That photo was 100% taken on a navy ship. The blue table covering is the same exact fake-ish leather blue covering they put on the tables in the mess decks. The deck matches the white spots on blue deck color. The bulkheads are dark black at the base, followed by white, which is the same colorscheme. It's even rounded on the corner. That meal looks very legit for what they could serve. I've been personally served the bbq tacos. There's a chance the people who took the photos only grabbed one or two items from the galley and posted it online. But if they're on battle rations, that can be pretty brutal too.

Pictures published by USA Today show meals served recently to Sailors onboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), as well as Marines serving on the USS Tripoli (LHA-7), an America-class amphibious assault ship, both of which are currently deployed to the Arabian Sea in order to enforce the ongoing naval blockade against coastal areas of Iran.

Photo of one of the responding officers during yesterday's false alarm at Florida A&M University. He must take occluded shooting very seriously as he has his front cap down whilst responding to an "active shooter" situation. Also, he appears to be a right handed shooter. If so, I have no idea how he's going to activate that light with the tailcap mounted behind the VFG 🔦 I cropped the guys face out as this isn't a post to dog on this dude; just a reminder to check your home/self defense gear set ups so you don't end up doing occluded shooting on a two way range in the dark because you can't activate your WML with a proper grip. Check your set up accordingly... #fail #police #florida #FloridaMan #cops #aimpoint #occluded #nope
