Vatican's Caritas outraged at 'reckless' USAID cuts, says millions will die, others left in poverty
Caritas warned that millions of people will die as a result of the U.S. decision to stop USAID funding, and hundreds of millions more will be condemned to “dehumanizing poverty.”
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.
Here's an idea: if the Vatican is so concerned about the fate of the poor, how about it uses its own obscene wealth and assets to step up to the plate?
Fucking hypocrites...
When I was seven years old, we visited the Vatican. We were walking around and saw there was some little exhibit hall down some stairs sort of out of the way that no one was going to. So we went in there. Inside were all the horse-drawn papal carriages. A dozen of them, all covered in gold.
Even at that age, all I could think was, "there are people starving in the world..."
They do use their liquid assets for that, but not selling the illiquid ones like art and real estate. I think it'd be a shame to turn cathedrals into shopping malls, but maybe it's worth putting the money to good use.
Maybe just melt down some golden relics.
Europeans waiting for the US to give them billions of free aid after complaining about how we're evil
Man if only the church had deep pockets and treasure to donate to the poor and the people suffering
Yes, that's the entire idea behind these actions.
The world's largest and most powerful organization for guaranteeing pedophiles access to children while shielding them from prosecution is admonishing others about the moral implications of having their budget cut?
Maybe they can sell a golden throne or two to close the gap if they're really that concerned about it.
Fucking degenerate perverts.
Broken clocks etc.
And? Dictator Musk doesn't give a shit about that. His sidekick Cheeto doesn't care either
At best this'll generate an "uh huh" whilst they continue to rob he state blind and setup his dictatorship
Eh, Caritas is a corrupt organization anyway
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.
Tell him to stfu, we don't need pedophiles supporting our arguments
That's not entirely fair, there have been no allegations made against Cardinal Czerny specifically, generally? Against the church and even other Cardinals? Sure, but not this guy.
Enabling is as bad as comitting
