Today America's Catholic Bishops were justly deprived by President Donald Trump of nearly $2.9 billion of federal funding for their leftist Catholic Charities' immigration racket. And whistleblower Kyle Seraphin, the chap who alerted the world to FBI snooping on the Latin Mass, is giving the lead to fellow Catholics by depriving the US Bishops of his tithing.
"Are (the bishops) actually worried about their bottom line?” asked Catholic US vice-president J D Vance. Catholic Charities has ushered millions of illegal aliens into the United States, and advised 638,000 of them on how to evade immigration law. .https://nypost.com/2025/01/27/us-news/catholic-charities-draws-fire-over-video-coaching-illegal-migrants-on-how-to-duck-ice/ The bishops' venal immigration policy is a rotten fruit of Communist infiltration of the Church, typified by the radical Jesuit papal pretender Jorge Bergoglio.
Columbia has buckled under Trump's threats and taken back their exported criminals. NZ's Coalition Government and socialist Catholic bishops need to lift their game and play the ball - separatism and Novus Ordo effeminacy, respectively.

First, Kyle Seraphim on X (Twitter) socking it to his Austin, Texas, Bishop Vasquez.
Hey - My parish is reading your Leftist propaganda "letter" at Mass this Sunday. It decries the unfairness of 's immigration policy.
As of today, I will cease financially contributing to the Parish or the Diocese. I'll find ways to give charity directly to those in need as I did last year.
Bishop Vasquez - 'mealy-mouthed' |
You need to repent and stop hiding being mealy mouthed, virtue signaled nonsense by saying the Diocese "recognizes a country's right and responsibility to promote public order, safety, and security through well-regulated borders and just regulations on immigrations" while pushing RADICAL Marxist/Liberation Theology tenets in the next sentence.
"At the same time, all people have the moral obligations to refrain from denigrating any group of people, to provide human treatment of the poor or others in need and to deprive no individuals of protection under the law."
The breakers of laws in this country have DIRECTLY and NEGATIVELY impacted the poor of THIS country. I haven't see your cries for the homeless veterans who served America. I don't see you reaching out for those in rural parts of America struggling.
The current US immigration situation directly leads to the rape, abuse, and enslavement of those who are trafficked and smuggled across the border and must result from willful ignorance or actual malevolence.
Americans murdered by illegal aliens |
I will not be separating myself or my family from the Word or the Eucharist. But you can expect that I will not support this corrupt and lawless advocacy against the principles of national sovereignty and responsible governance. Shame on you, Bishop Vasquez.
Recent revelations about the federal funding awarded to Catholic non-governmental organizations (NGOs) over the past four years have raised significant questions regarding the motivations behind the U.S. Catholic bishops’ public stances on political issues.
An in-depth analysis of federal spending has revealed that the Biden administration granted Catholic NGOs nearly $2.9 billion in immigration-related funding, a figure more than three times higher than the funding awarded under the Trump administration’s first term.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and affiliated Catholic NGOs have long been active participants in resettling immigrants and refugees, advocating for policies aligned with Catholic social teaching. However, the sheer scale of financial support during the Biden administration has sparked concerns about potential conflicts of interest, especially as these same bishops have largely refrained from addressing Biden’s anti-Catholic policies.
Furthermore, despite Canon 915 of Catholic Church law—which states that Catholics “obstinately persisting in manifest grave sin” should not receive Holy Communion—many bishops have continued to welcome Biden to the Eucharist.
The analysis, conducted using data from USAspending.gov, reviewed immigration-related federal funding awarded to Catholic NGOs between 2009 and 2024. Researchers flagged organizations affiliated with the Catholic Church, analyzed the geographical distribution of funds across dioceses, and used data visualization tools like Tableau to present the findings.
The results revealed striking disparities: Catholic NGOs received $2.9 billion in the past four years, compared to $5.2 billion over the previous 16 years combined. More than half of the funding awarded since 2009 occurred under the Biden administration, raising questions about the intersection of financial incentives and ecclesiastical advocacy.
The two largest recipients of these funds were Catholic Charities, which secured $2.6 billion, and the USCCB itself, which received nearly $1.6 billion. Geographically, the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C., led the way with $1.6 billion, followed by the Diocese of Fort Worth with nearly $1 billion.
Federal funding was primarily allocated through three key programs: Refugee and Entrant Assistance State/Replacement Designee Administered Programs (41%), Refugee and Entrant Assistance Voluntary Agency Programs (18%), and the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (12%).
Critics of this funding suggest it may explain the bishops’ public silence regarding President Biden’s policies and their criticism of former President Trump. Trump’s immigration policies, including reduced refugee admissions and stricter enforcement of immigration laws, jeopardized the federal funding streams that Catholic NGOs heavily rely upon.
Meanwhile, Biden’s more lenient approach to immigration not only aligns with the USCCB’s advocacy but also ensures the continued flow of federal dollars to Catholic organizations.
Today Trump signed the Laken Riley Act ensuring no more Americans suffer at the hands of illegal alien criminals |
Beyond the financial data, the study highlights the broader context of financial challenges facing the Church. Catholic dioceses have paid over $5 billion to settle sex-abuse scandal lawsuits, with additional millions spent on legal fees. This financial strain may contribute to the Church’s reliance on federal funding to sustain its operations and social programs, including those related to immigration.
The findings also spotlight inconsistencies in leadership messaging. For instance, Pope Francis has criticized strict immigration policies, such as Trump’s deportation plans, while simultaneously implementing measures to limit illegal entrants into Vatican City.
This financial and political entanglement raises critical questions about the motivations behind the bishops’ policy positions and public statements. While Catholic NGOs provide essential services to vulnerable populations, the Church’s reliance on government funding risks creating the appearance of compromised integrity.
As the faithful consider these findings, it is essential to prioritize transparency, accountability, and adherence to core Catholic principles to navigate the challenges of serving both God and neighbor.
ReplyDeleteGreat news indeed!!

ReplyDeleteThey shouldn't have stolen.
ReplyDeleteTrump the racist, rapist, convicted felon, bully. Trump killed more than a million Americans by downplaying covid. He tried to bully China and gave the whole world covid.
None factual ! How about the WHO that lied to the American people, which pushed there agenda to make billions .

ReplyDeleteDon't know how they joined Catholics and Communists together.
They are not the same.... Duh🙄🤙🏽
DeleteHow do you join the One Holy Catholic Church and Communism together? It cant be because communism is condemned. It is against God and His Church. Instead, the enemies of Christ have created an Ape of the Church, a satanic facade. The short answer is by the combination of the condemned heresy of Modernism and the KGB invented Liberation Theology, which the KGB gave to the Jesuits, who then spread it around the world.
About time!

ReplyDeleteEvery USA bishop that took USA taxpayer money, and then closed all Masses and sacraments for over a year beginning 2020, committed an act of idolatry to F a u c i et al. Conflict of interest, lusting for dirty money over the faithful reality that inspired the first 23 popes to embrace martyrdom rather than burn incense to Roman gods. Even the Pharisees that killed Jesus knew better than the 2020 bishops by rejecting Judas' 30 pieces of silver to protect the Temple Treasury for desecration. Catholic Charities was desecrated beyond redemption institutionalizing woman and child sex slavery, drug smuggling, human trafficking. The bishops fighting Trump are no better than Judas, way less pure that Pharisees that killed Jesus.
ReplyDeleteIt's about time these turds get their "come-up-in's!
Catholic Charities and the CHI (Catholic Health Initiative) which provides Administration to so called Catholic Hospitals. These "wolves in sheep's clothing are anything but Catholic.
It's all a scam!
ReplyDeletemy middle name is Saint John, I was raised Catholic, but with age and knowledge I have become a non-denominational Christian. I don't follow the bible word for word, I just live my life with the sincere hope I don't bring unnecessary hurt or hardship on people around me.
Sadly, many aspects of organized religions have become corrupted and out of line with my moral expectations, so when I see Trump cutting these guys off, I support it.
Дэмиен Демент as a traditional Catholic I support this too. Absolutely. The Catholic Church is a human institution as well as divine anc the make-over she's getting now from Antipope Francis and his minions in the USCCB is temporary; a future holy pope will by the grace of God restore her beauty.
DeleteAnd by the grace of God, guided by your holy patron you will one day return to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church..
ReplyDeleteThe Catholic Church leaders have always been corrupt. One just has to remember how they jumped into bed with Hilter in the ‘30’s. Look how they sweep the sexual molestation of kids under the table.
Marc Machon, sounds like your knowledge of history goes back only as far as Vatican Council II - except for the '30s and even that you get wrong. "Pacelli (Pope Pius XII) was instrumental even in a determining

into Germany by a diplomatic pouch, distributed by

We’re witnessing a changing of the guard …don’t for a minute think Humanity will be released from Slavery under governments & religious serfdom.
DeleteLivingman-Mark House-Thompson The Catholic religion is Reality, and true freedom.
DeleteThe RC church does not require funding
DeleteALL Religion is man’s attempt to reach Divine. Then coming up with rules and dogma to enforce on & control the Followers.
The RC church - which I was born into - was established by satanist Constantine who went on to oversee the Council of Nicea AD325 creating the 66 book “Bible”
It’s only gone downhill from there. Catholicism ….evangelicalism ….Pentecostal ism….
It’s all foundationaly & systemically corrupted & perverts true faith in our divine creator.

Livingman-Mark House-Thompson Oh dear. The RC Church was established by the Son of God on the "rock" of Peter. "And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (Mt 16,16). Our Lord couldn't have spoken more clearly. And it can only be pride that prevents Protestants et al from taking the Son of God at His word.

Dunno. Wasn’t there at the time. Hearsay. Were you there?
Peter may well have been the original chosen one. But that didn’t stop Saul/Paul from interloping. Then setting things up for Constantine three centuries later.
Learn your church history. There are sone massive holes to be discovered.
I’ll agree to disagree with you. You seem a lovely faith-filled lady. Your religion is of great comfort to you it would seem.
I choose to place my faith in my Creator; not anything created. Especially not created by lustful sinful men.
Livingman-Mark House-Thompson Christians believe Holy Scripture was written by God, Who doesn't listen to hearsay.
DeleteThe Catholic Church was created by the Son of God, Who is inerrant. Who was sent by the Father and Who sent the Holy Spirit, and Who said, "behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world." (Mt 28,20). That is Church history. I also place my faith in my Creator; and in the Church He built and gave me to be my Mother.
ReplyDeleteEvan Brent Connock I would differentiate. Catholic named charities are not all directly or financially part of the catholic church. They market on the name and tar the greater church but aren't actually accountable in any way to the church directly.
DeleteBrad Clifton only problem is that the church in Rome has many assets. While studying in the US cardinal Dulles had occasion to visit the Uni, these folks arrived in New Black Lincolns...not one but three! I hardly think tne Catholic church should be pleading poverty. Charities aside, there is plenty to go around. The US govt was giving a huge amount of money to the RC church, but what if military veterans? Many are homeless and addicted... they likely could yse nore support.
DeleteEvan Brent Connock all I'm saying is that most catholic charities these days are not catholic in reality. They are overrun by leftist stooges and perpetuate the false ideology of social justice.
Brad Clifton, indeed.

ReplyDeleteGood. The Catholic Church is incredibly wealthy. They don’t need federal funding.
ReplyDeleteFantastic. The parasites sucking on the producers need a dam good sheep dip or three.
ReplyDeleteBloody good job!!👏👏👏
ReplyDeleteAwesome
ReplyDeleteSeriously they need funding?
DeleteRoslynn Fielder the post-conciliar, Novus Ordo, Synodal Bergoglian sect/church' bishops' flock is deserting. And it has to stump up $2,49 billion for sex abuse settlements, largely because they have failed to preach the Gospel..
ReplyDeleteWhy would the gov be funding anything that churches do?
DeleteKristen Gustafson because Catholic Charities is supposed to be a charity. Supposed to save the government money.
DeleteSeperation of church and state?
DeleteKristen Gustafson it demonstrates once again that separation of Church and State was a disaster.
ReplyDeleteYay go trump !!!!!!!
ReplyDelete🙏🙏 of thanks. Kept up this work DJT
ReplyDeleteAbout time with many other NGO's. Thank God.
ReplyDeleteGood for him! Catholic Bishops need to be held accountable for their woke policies too. Some our very good, and faithful to Christ's teachings, like Cardinal Burke, others are more political, and focus only on social justice. Jesus didn't do that!
ReplyDeleteLet's see the bishops step up and sell their mansions or move the immigrants in with them. Lead by example bishops
ReplyDeleteAmen
ReplyDeleteAlleluia!
Its good that Trump is cutting the funding of the "catholic" church's Charities/NGO's. The Church should not be funded by Caeser.
ReplyDeleteTrump should go further and cut the funding of catholic schools. No state funding of Catholic Schools the Bishop and the parents should fund it themselves. No funding means no State mandated curriculum! Trump could give tax credits to those that donate to schools or pay students tuition fees (or donate to the Bishops, Diocese fund for the schools in the Diocese. As long as the donated money ONLY goes to funding schools). The reasoning being that those children's education is no longer the responsibility of the State.
I quite agree, and NZ's state funding of Catholic schools ditt, because it has compromised the transmission of Catholic doctrine to our children to the extent that the schools can no longer be called Catholic.
