Summary

The Vatican’s Caritas Internationalis condemned the Trump administration’s decision to halt USAID funding, warning it will cause millions of deaths and widespread poverty.

Cardinal Michael Czerny criticized the move as “reckless” and urged the U.S. to uphold Christian values of aid and compassion.

The cuts impact Catholic Relief Services and other humanitarian programs, jeopardizing decades of progress.

Czerny also denounced Trump’s immigration crackdown. U.S. Catholic bishops issued a rare rebuke, calling Trump’s policies on aid, immigration, and justice harmful to the vulnerable.

      It might be (I’m not defending them here), but even the Catholic Church sometimes do some good. What Muskolini, the Orungutan in Chief and Brocolli Balls are doing is so despicable and evil, even the Church is justified in their criticism. The level of destruction they’re causing is quickly escalating to the levels of what was done in Europe during WWII, the Stalinist purges, the Cultural revolution and the massacres of the Khmer Rouge. They might not be there yet, but they sure as hell are trying to speed run it.
