There are a lack of priests. Consolidation of parishes is happening and they are consolidating around existing parishes, which favor the traditional Catholics. Not illegals.
Strike one
Every parish has the optimum times filled with English speaking masses.
Strike two.
Want to go for strike 3?

The US Bishops' boss lives in a literal walled city state protected by mercenaries armed with guns/spears, with a vault of untold wealth.
But Catholic Charities Arch-diocese of Houston-Galveston alone took over $82 million in government grants in 2024, about 80 percent of their revenue. So to fairly put it I consider it a political-business entity as much as a religious one. Joel Osteen-levels of hypocrisy.
This was not subsidizing or charity to a church - this was intentionally giving money to an organization that is dedicated via their NGOs and church leadership to assist and aid in illegal immigration into the US.
Of course……..thats the only use for charity money. Now do other denominations and their NGOs dedicated to immigrants. I'll help you out…..
Lutherans
Baptists
The list goes on and on……
Let's ignore Catholic Charities is run by child traffickers and cultural marxists and primarily funded as NGOs.
Collection basket money does not fund Catholic Charities.
Horse#&@# with the child trafficker nonsense. The Catholic bashing on F16 knows no bounds amd the "Oh yeah? Well……………..we do it less!" defense is tiresome. Yes, there are extra collections for CFC.
When your church is wrong, it's okay to say so. You're obligated to, actually.
One thing we know historically is that the Catholic Church lets political reality overrule moral principles. The appropriate party from the Trump administration needs to meet quietly with this Pope and tell him to knock it off or there will be consequences. We can make things difficult for the interests of the Catholic Church around the world if they keep ****ing with us.

And when false, and hypocritical allegations are hurled against it, one is obliged to defend it. This thread has gone from "Catholic Bishops want birthright citizenship in the U.S." (which is none of their business) to "Catholic Family Charities is trafficking children".

Birthright citizenship for a baby born to even one parent here legally is a no-brainer.
Rejecting birthright citizenship to the offspring of parents who both came in illegally is also a no-brainer. It doesn't mean they're not human. It just means they're not an American citizen.
Nah.
At least one parent that is a legal US Citizen.
At some point we need to make citizenship valuable again.
That's what I said.
That's not what you said. There's a difference between being here legally and being a citizen.
If you're here legally and drop a child, they're a US citizen. The argument has been that people here illegally shouldn't get birthright privileges for their offspring, which I agree with. But I don't agree with moving the goalposts to require one of the legal parents to also be a citizen. That has not been the conversation.
Edit to add that Trump's EO is in between those two positions. He would require the parents to be a US citizen or a legal permanent resident, but he excludes those here legally on a visa.
He's talking about legal permanent residents or those on legitimate visas.

In the internet search I did, it drew a distinction between legal permanent residents and legal visitors (visas). The former's offspring would qualify for citizenship; the latter would not.

Im catholic. Catholic charities was / wants to take federal money to facilitate the trafficking of people across the border. That happened. The us bishops are causing great scandal.
My bishop is san Antonio talks left wing politics to the point I had to block him on Twitter.
I'm no fan of Catholic Charities taking Federal funds to help illegals. Stated this as well as stated on how many of the political statements of the Pope go directly against the Catholic Church.
But they don't traffic anyone. That's just stupid.
King of the Dairy Queen said:
Facilitate the trafficking of people? Is that better? Because that's precisely what they did.
LOL, no. They provide food and shelter to people. They don't let people starve.
But I do get the narrative you are trying to shovel.

Pretty sure they move people between countries and states. Whether the charity "knowingly" does it is up for debate but they facilitate the movement of people.

All of these NGOs claiming to be associated with "Christian" churches should be criticized for encouraging, aiding and abetting trafficking illegal immigrants.

I said no such thing. The concept that CFS was somehow the lone church organization assisting migrants was what I pointed out. Helping people. CROSS THE BORDER is not good for any organization. Feed, clothe, and shelter them all you want.

My wife is catholic, my boys go to Catholic school, we go to a Catholic Church….. and the Bishops and Pope can FO and stop any and all talk of politics and humanitarian BS. They need to stay in their lane. The USA ENFORCING our laws in whatever manner we choose to enforce them is 10000% right, moral and correct and we don't need the opinion or care about what the Pope sitting on billions of $$ in a walled off city with armed guards has to say.

These groups aid and abet illegal immigration, period. Just make it across the border amigo and find your nearest shelter. The hard parts over. Ellos te ayudaran, no problemo.

Never intended to isolate the CC amongst the sea of bad actors. They are indeed one of many.
Use of migrants to describe illegal immigrants is telling.

You can disagree and I do as well. But calling Catholic Bishops "losers" is not appropriate.
They're just men. Like you and me.
I am assuming you are not Catholic or well informed. I know they are men but don't compare yourself to someone who dedicates their entire lift to following God. That is insulting.

Ellis Wyatt said:
The Church isn't divine. It is led by sinners who are ostensibly following God. But they're still fallen men.
That's not what that quote means; it means "of divine origin," as in 'the church Christ founded when he said he was founding a church.' Who founded your church?
But to return to the point of this post: that amicus brief is a joke. Trying to use what little moral authority your purely voluntary collegial organization has to support birth tourism is a new low for the committee that put the USCCB name on this brief. Wish my bishop would pull out of that group but he probably proofread the draft. I can't in good conscience give a dime to these worldly fools. Find other groups to support.

"The Islamization of Catholic Charities."
Quote:
And dual roles at a Catholic refugee group and an Islamic mosque are not even unusual.
The Catholic Archdiocese of Galveston Houston employs Samira, a Muslim 'refugee' from Afghanistan, as a case manager. This information was put out as a press release as the Archdiocese declared that it was expecting to import hundreds of Afghan families to Houston.
Also working as a case manager at the Archdiocese was Umarfarouk Omaru Lolleh who also appears to be the chairman of the board at the United Muslim Association of Houston (UMAH).
Catholic refugee groups aren't just bringing Muslims to America, they're also transporting them to local mosques and even providing leaders for those mosques being set up in America.
Muslims have become so ubiquitous at Catholic Charities that you can count multiple Mohammeds in a single local operation. And that represents only a percentage of the total Muslim employees.
At Catholic Charities of Central and Northern Missouri's Refugee and Immigration Services two out of three case managers are Muslim. Yusuf Mohammed, one of the case managers, is a Somali Muslim who was resettled in Columbia, Missouri. He's one of at least two Yusuf Mohammeds who works at this particular Catholic Charities center.
When the first Muslim migrant from Afghanistan arrived in Columbia, Missouri, he was welcomedby the Islamic Center of Central Missouri and the Catholic Charities of Central and Northeastern Missouri. Representing Catholic Charities was Ismat Rashid Kaakar, the Catholic Charities Afghan Program Coordinator, and Frishta Aslami, the Case Management Supervisor at Catholic Charities, whose name means 'Submission to Allah': both of them from Afghanistan.
Catholic Charities of Central and Northeastern Missouri had helped make Missouri the eighth largest recipient of Afghan migrants.
Quote:
Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma posted a picture of its refugee case manager Maleeha Siddique waving an Afghan flag and bragged that "because of our recent work resettling 1,800 Afghan refugees in Oklahoma, it provided Maleeha the opportunity to serve those from her home country" and announced how happy it was that she was "able to celebrate Eid al-Fitr with others, a festivity that marks the end of Ramadan."
Basira Faizy, the Afghan case worker at Catholic Charities of Arkansas, became a celebrity after she appeared on Hillary Clinton's short lived TV series Gutsy. Faizy came to the U.S. along with 15 members of her family.
How is Catholic Charities being so rapidly Islamized?
The story of Hekmatullah Latifi, an Afghan who used to work for USAID, is instructive. Latifi went from working for Catholic Charities at the Arlington Diocese to becoming the Assistant Director at the Resettlement Academy in D.C. for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. The Biden administration's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM), the engine for the mass invasion of the United States, signed a $65 million contract with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to resettle 'refugees'. Among other programs, PRM funded the Refugee Resettlement Academy. The Director of Recruitment for the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of D.C. is Afghani Barakzai who used to work as a senior administrator at USAID and worked at a USAID funded program for Afghanistan.
At this rate, Catholic Charities could just as easily change its name to Islamic Charities.
More at the link. I have proudly never given a dime to Catholic Charities, directly, but unfortunately we have all paid taxes that went to this trafficking organization seeking to bring as many islamists from 3rd world cesspools into my community as possible.
Every single Afghan refugee should be given asylum and sent back to a freed Iran as part of our future war settlement, ideally, so they can be closer to their native homeland/people.
Who did Christ leave charge for His church with? I recommend you go further than just "read the black, do the red" and maybe apply some critical thinking.Ol_Ag_02 said:stallion6 said:Ol_Ag_02 said:stallion6 said:DonHenley said:

And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me’
If illegal immigrants from Mexico and the rest of the South were all LDS and pushing out Catholic neighborhoods and churches they'd be demanding a border wall 80 feet high with an electrified fence and concrete moat full of alligators and not a word about "dignity"
The Pope, Bishops, and clergy don't have "a lane" to stay in. The Catholic Church is the universal, world-wide church. There are no boundaries to Christianity. Christ calls us to shelter the homeless, feed the poor, etc. without regard to who they are or how they got where they are. No, that's not in our own self-interest usually; yes, it's difficult for us to do, but that's what Christ wants us to do.
False. It's your church. That's cool.
The Pope won't be anywhere near the Judgment Seat except when it's his turn to meet Jesus.
The veil was torn, it wasn't moved behind the altar of a Catholic church.

No more stupid than the other times this has been posted on F16….
The Vatican was walled off over 1000 years ago to protect against ARMIES whose aim was to murder, rape, and enslave those inside. It is not even entirely walled off.

The Holy Roman Catholic Church remains the largest charitable group IN THE WORLD. Easy to look up. Those "treasures" are priceless artifacts and art works preserved for all time. Now, why don't you advocate to the US government to sell everything in the Smithsonian, National Gallery, National Archives, etc……..when we are trillions of dollars in debt?
