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.
any example of a catholic thing you thought was just america
Fish on Fridays. All of the school cafeterias here only served fish. Many restaurants did not serve meat either.
We had fiestas at the Catholic Church in late summer. The whole town would get together for the celebration. (This I learned was a town tradition, and not specially a Catholic thing, it was hosted by the Catholic Church though).
Performing Las Pastorelas in school, and on the city’s plaza at Christmas time.
Giving up something for lent. I thought this was a tradition like New Year’s resolutions.
hah! fun.
yes, I find the christians are pretty good at taking things over. so it makes sense they inserted themselves into the fiestas to control them.
