Yesterday I said that it is time for the US Conference of Catholic Bishops to add one important detail to every press release or news story where they lecture us (or Donald Trump) about humanitarianism, about social justice, about “welcoming the stranger.”
That important missing piece of information is how much of your money (not freely given) goes to them directly from the US Treasury.
Thanks to reader Joanne for pointing us to recent audited financial reports for the Bishops, here. And, specifically the most recent one available.
As you look at the numbers, don’t miss the millions going to the Bishops for the Unaccompanied Alien Children!
For fun I went back to the 2010 report for comparison. Wow!
During Obama’s time in office they went from $58 million to $95 million!
You need to know too, that individual Catholic Charities (usually through the local diocese) are also getting money separately from the feds for many activities. Use USASpending.gov to research your local “charities.”
As we have said repeatedly: refugee resettlement is a business!
