Archbishop: Catholics Are Rebelling Against Church's Pro-Migration Policies

Catholics are rebelling against their religious leaders' pro-migration policies, and the Catholic leadership must set them straight, Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York said in an interview on December 21 with the Catholic-run Center for Migration Studies

"We were about ready — [with] Catholic Charities — a year ago to turn that [empty New York City] school into a school for immigrant kids, who would come in, and we'd help them with their English. We would help them get up to speed when it comes to their eventual insertion into one of our schools," the Catholic Cardinal said.

"And the people in that parish ... rebelled and said, "Absolutely not, we will not have them here," said Dolan, who watches over the massive government-funded, migrant-delivery process operated by the legally independent Catholic Charities USA.

Dolan also dismissed criticism from "bigots" in Congress and asserted that he and other bishops get "hate mail ... saying, 'We're tired of you bishops being hung up about the immigrants, and we're not going to support you anymore.'"

"This is part of our Catholic responsibility to do this, and this is part of that pro-life ethic that gives a lot of flavor to our evangelical witness," he said, adding, "I am honored to receive criticism and to be maligned for defense of the immigrant."

Not "everybody who wants high immigration is guilty of the sin of pride, but that sure seems to be the case here," Mark Krikorian, the director of the Center for Immigration Studies, responded.

The Bishops "think expressing their views on broad political issues is at least as important — if not more important — than actually preaching the Gospel," he said:

QuoteThey're making the mistake about "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's." ... If there is somebody who shows up in front of your church and they're hungry, [charitably] feeding them is perfectly appropriate. But trying to change [government] policy so that there are more hungry people [delivered to] your church door is very different. That's the [doctrinal] mistake they're making.

"It's a very superficial and poorly thought approach to the issue, but I think it's sincere," he added.

Dolan is determined to overcome his parishioners' growing, rational, and decent opposition to the government-run migration flood.

"Those two things...I have found effective in kind of breaking down this terrible Berlin Wall [between Bishops and parishioners] that's existing in us getting anywhere," Dolan said as he explained how he tries to get his parishioners to support the government's economic policy of Extraction Migration:

QuoteI tried to reason with them, to go back in history, and to say this is exactly what your parents, your grandparents, and your great-grandparents faced. It was the same thing. And gradually they began to recall the stories and they said, "Oh, that's right. ... We remembered when the Irish pastor made us Italians go downstairs for mass, and that being the main church." I'm not saying I was eminently successful here, but I could see the ice begin to melt and the people sort of saying, "Oh, that's right. We are immigrants, too. We are children and grandchildren of immigrants, and that's what makes our country great.

"We do need to be reminded of our history," echoed Nicholas DiMarzio, Dolan's pro-migration colleague and a bishop emeritus of Brooklyn, New York. U.S.-born citizens are born with an unchangeable immigrant identity, he stated: "I think that we have to constantly remind [parishioners] people of where they came from, that we all are immigrants here. No one has a right to be here. We came as immigrants to a country where there were Indians before immigrants."

"I'm not an immigrant," responded Marguerite Telford, a U.S.-born citizen and a Catholic who works with Krikorian at the Center for Immigration Studies. "If I moved to France, would I become an immigrant-immigrant?" she scoffed, adding:

QuoteI don't understand why they would want to take away the significance of my citizenship and label me an immigrant — and my children and grandchildren!  — when that does not fit who I am. What does this [redefinition] have to do with theology?

DiMarzio also posited that migration is good for the United States:

QuoteThe benefits of immigration to our country need to be emphasized. People don't see that. Again, the negativity is that "they're taking away [resources]." Well, they give more than they take when all is said and done. To analyze it properly, economically, we get people that are already grown, somewhat educated, some very educated, and it doesn't cost us anything. We benefit as a country.

"Does that sound like a church statement?" Telford responded: "It's good for the economy, and you need to do this." Does that make any sense coming from the pulpit? ... It is not doctrine, and we do not have to agree with them on this:

In contrast, Dolan claimed that national political and economic debates are unrelated to Catholics' religious duty to help migrants:

QuoteWe have to distinguish between the political and the economic and security issues, which are big time and which are broken and which are scandalous and which deserves criticism, whether it comes to the right or the left, and which desperately needs to be fixed. We have to distinguish between that and loving and caring for the people that are here, who have really nothing to do with that.

"When you greet the Iraqi family at the airport, you get a warm feeling that you're helping people," Krikorian responded. But Dolan and the Bishops are downplaying the case-and-effect links between migration and the nation's economy, Krikorian noted:

The fourth person on the video was Kerry Robinson, the president and CEO of Catholic Charities USA. The charity accepts government funds to help move huge numbers of illegal migrants via its 168 aid centers into Americans' communities, housing, workplaces, and already-crowded K-12 schools. Robinson dismissed public criticisms of her government-funded focus on migrants:

QuoteI have seen firsthand the services that our border agencies provide to migrants. It is demanding, relentless, noble, and I would say holy work.

After migrants have been processed by the federal government and permitted to enter the country, federal authorities often bring them to one of our respite centers, where they receive a nourishing meal, access to a shower, a change of clothes, a safe place to sit, to sleep ... [and] navigate transportation systems so that they can travel to their destination cities.

"It is not political, and it should not be controversial," she insisted.

But in October, Robinson admitted that poverty and homelessness are growing amid President Joe Biden's migration:

QuoteThere are roughly 4 million affordable homes available nationally for 11 million extremely low-income renter households. That's a shortage of 7 million affordable housing units. That's catastrophic ... [and] child poverty increased from 5.2 percent in 2021 to 12.4 percent in 2022—the largest single-year increase since 2010.

The Bishop's pro-migration policies are bad economics and harmful to their parishioners and to ordinary Americans, Telford said.

By supporting the government's policy of importing more wage-cutting, rent-spiking workers, "they're making it difficult for Catholics to have large families," she said. "Yet then they turn around and say, 'Oh, we need to bring in more workers for the economy.'"

The Bishops "don't understand [the pocketbook impact of migration] because they're not economists," and their lack of understanding will help make Catholic parishioners poorer and less able to fund charity, Telford said.

In political debates about economics and resources, "there's always winners and losers; there's always costs and benefits," Krikorian said. "The black and white thinking that is appropriate in asserting [religious] doctrine [about good and evil] is not appropriate in these kinds of [political compromise] situations":

Dolan is touting his pro-migration policy, which is growing as the public increasingly opposes Biden's invitation to millions of economic migrants.

In New York, 62 percent of Catholics described legal migration as a burden, and just 27 percent describe it as a benefit, according to an October poll by Siena College for the New York Times. A majority of Americans say migration is an invasion as the public rejects the Cold War-era narrative that declared the United States a "Nation of Immigrants."

"Something does feel different now from what we have seen in the past 25 years or so," admitted C. Mario Russell, the executive director of the pro-migration CMS group and the host for Dolan's video. He told Dolan, stating, "Perhaps it's a gradual letting go of empathy or compassion as an imperative. Or perhaps it's the choice just to ignore ... [a prior] shared self-understanding of ourselves as a 'Nation of Immigrants'":

The criticism is growing because Biden's almost-open borders policy cuts American wages, inflates housing costs, and pushes Americans away from good jobs in coastal cities, such as Dolan's New York City.

In 2023, Biden's pro-migration deputies welcomed roughly 3.2 million economic migrants over America's southern border. He also imported roughly 2 million legal immigrants and short-term visa workers. That huge inflow was greater than the number of girls and boys born to Americans during the year:

Migration diverts taxpayers' aid from young and sick Americans, job-creating investment from Heartland states, economic opportunities from poor and minority groups, and also imposes huge costs on communities and poor counties.

The policy also favors landlords and migrants over American families, who lose the income to afford to have children. It transfers wealth to older investors from the younger employees, who lose wages and productivity-boosting investment, and it widens wealth gaps, especially in Dolan's New York City.

Many employers are eager to hire healthy, hard-working, and compliant migrants instead of by-the-book American professionals, or the unwanted, drug-tainted, disabled, sometimes criminal, and often uncooperative Americans found at the lower end of the labor force:

Migration allows the government and investors to divorce themselves from the neediest people and to avoid painful "big time" policy decisions, such as birth declines or the remedy for education gaps in population groups. For example, Biden's government does little to block the deadly drug inflow from Mexico because it prioritizes deals on migration policy. Similarly, business has less incentive to support education reforms or drug eradication programs because migrants can fill the jobs abandoned by drug addicts and school dropouts:

The migration policy also retards the science, productivity, and innovation that is needed for U.S. prosperity and weakens the strong middle class that is needed to balance the political power of the wealthy, especially in Dolan's city of New York.

The wealth-shifting policy favors D.C. politics over truth-telling. For example, investors fund the pro-migration advocacy groups that insist that migrants are fleeing violence — even though many migrants openly say they are economic migrants in search of better jobs in U.S. workplaces. "Many of us that are coming over are just wanting to work. ... Some of us are professionals. We aren't thieves. We aren't violent thugs. Just give us an opportunity," a Venezuelan migrant told the Washington Post in May 2023.

The Biden policy also helps the armed cartels gain more wealth and smuggle more deadly drugs to U.S. addicts. The federal policy also extracts human resources from poor countries to stimulate the investors' share of the U.S. consumer economy, expands poverty in migrants' home countries, reduces wealth-generating trade, and strengthens anti-democratic dictators:

Biden's migration splits a myriad of foreign families, expands the U.S. child-labor economy, and also kills thousands of foreign migrants. "There were two images of his treacherous journey north that he couldn't get out of his head," Albinson Linares from Telemundo.com wrote in January 2023 about a Venezuelan migrant named Johan Torres, who crossed through the Darién Gap in Panama:

QuoteThe first was how a [migrant] person who resisted a robbery in Mexico was killed with a machete; the other happened in the jungle, when he saw a man leave behind his young daughter, waist-deep in mud. "He left her there, lying in the mud and crying. And I couldn't do anything because I was dying of exhaustion. But I can't forget that."

Dolan, however, insisted that observant Catholics must support more illegal migration.

"I have a duty and a sacred responsibility to welcome and defend the immigrant," Dolan insisted. "This is not some option. This is not some hobby. I have a duty to do that. ... [It] is part of our moral heritage."

"The Roman [Catholic] church is a hierarchical institution, and the hierarchs are used to having their way," Krikorian responded. "In this country, Catholics are Americans, and they're going to decide for themselves what they want to do."

The Bishops' pro-migration policies are "very, very divisive, and right now, we've got enough divisive things in the church and with people in general," Telford said.

Dolan "should consider sitting down ... and find out why so many disagree with him on immigration," Telford said, adding, "Perhaps he is living in a bubble surrounded by [pro-]immigration activists."

MAJOR SCANDAL rocks the Italian Catholic Church: Bishops accused of funding illegal immigration

Rome, Italy – A significant scandal has recently emerged within the Italian Catholic Church, implicating high-ranking church officials, including cardinals and archbishops, in a scheme of organizing and financing illegal migration from Africa to Europe.

Investigations led by the prosecutor's office in Ragusa, Sicily, have uncovered troubling connections between several Italian dioceses and the George Soros-tied NGO "SOS Mediterranea," accused of aiding and abetting human trafficking under the guise of refugee aid.

Financial Ties and Controversial Figures
The investigations have revealed that these dioceses channeled at least €2 million into operations alleged to support illegal migration. Notably, some funds reportedly ended up in the personal accounts of pro-immigration activists. Key figures implicated include Cardinal Matteo Zuppi of Bologna, Archbishop Corrado Lorefice of Palermo, Archbishop Domenico Battaglia of Naples, Archbishop Erio Castellucci of Modena, and Archbishop Giovanni Ricchiuti of Altamury. Additionally, Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich of Luxembourg is also on the donor list, having contributed €25,000 to these questionable activities.

Luca Casarini: The Radical Leftist Linchpin
Central to this scandal is Luca Casarini, a prominent left-wing activist and a key figure in the NGO "SOS Mediterranea." Known for his involvement in the 2001 G8 summit protests in Genoa, Casarini has long been under scrutiny for his radical methods and unscrupulous tactics in illegal migrant transportation. These protests, marked by violence and chaos, highlighted his controversial role in the activist community.

In recent years, Casarini has been instrumental in the operations of "SOS Mediterranea," an organization often working with other left-wing NGO groups like Antifa-tied "Sea-Watch." These radical groups, have been accused of illegally ferrying migrants from Africa to Europe, raising significant concerns about the legality and ethics of their operations. As reported previously at RAIR, video evidence exposes the coordination between NGO migrant ferries and illegal human traffickers. The human traffickers even advertise their illegal services on left-wing Facebook. Casarini's deep involvement in these activities has made him a central figure in the ongoing controversy surrounding the role of NGOs in the European migrant crisis.

Pope Francis' Involvement and Criticism
Adding to the controversy, Pope Francis' interactions with Casarini have drawn criticism and raised eyebrows. Despite his lack of active involvement in Church life, the Pope's decision to invite Casarini to participate in the Vatican Synod of Bishops in 2019 has been seen as an endorsement of these left-wing globalist practices.

In a move that further intensified debate, Pope Francis notably received a life jacket with a crucifix from Casarini, a gesture interpreted as a symbol of support for the NGO's activities. This act, along with the Pope's public welcoming of illegal migrants in Lampedusa, has added to his anti-European stance on migration policies. These actions have not only been a topic of intense debate within the Church but have also sparked discussions on a broader societal level, questioning the Church's role and stance in illegal migration and refugee aid.

Critics argue that such gestures by the Pope encourage illegal migration and conflict with the interests of European states grappling with illegal mass migration challenges. These incidents underscore the complexities of the Church's involvement in geopolitical issues, particularly in the realm of illegals and caring more about their well-being than the citizens of Europe.

Refugee Revenue: US Conference of Catholic Bishops' $455 million in grant awards

The federal government has outsourced the processing and care of refugees admitted to the United States to a myriad of tax-exempt non-profits and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

Catholic Charities Maine Touts Taxpayer-Funded Migrant Resettlement Plans

Two executives from Catholic Charities Maine joined a panel discussion this week hosted by Refugees International and the Women's Refugee Commission to discuss how the nonprofit works to resettle refugees and asylum seekers in the state.

Catholic Charities has been doing refugee resettlement work since 1975, and is one of three agencies in Maine that are approved to resettle refugees in the state, alongside Maine Immigrant and Refugee Services (MEIRS) and the Jewish Community Alliance of Southern Maine.

In early October, the three resettlement agencies announced that they had been approved to resettle double the amount of refugees in fiscal year 2024 (FY24) than they did in FY23.

Catholic Charities Maine received $29.7 million in contributions in 2021, according to the most recent public version of the organization's Form 990 tax filing.

Of that funding, $13.6 million came from government payments and $7 million came from Medicaid, a taxpayer-funded medical welfare program.

Per that 2021 tax filing, CEO Stephen Letourneau made more than $170,000, dentist Meredith L. Davis-Pound made roughly $144,000, and orthodontist Burton L. Rankle made more than $215,000.

Refugees are a distinct migrant population from asylum seekers, as refugees must acquire approval prior to entering and residing in the U.S., and are immediately granted work authorization upon being extended status as a refugee.

Asylum-seeking migrants, however, may enter the country and have a pending asylum application that takes years to adjudicate, and are not authorized to work in the U.S. for a period of 150 days following the filing of their asylum application.

Julie Allaire, Chief Program Officer at Catholic Charities Maine, described to the panel how in July 2022, Catholic Charities launched a pilot program at the behest of the state for transitional housing for "asylum-seeking families."

"It is adapted based on our best practices on refugee resettlement," Allaire said. "And the idea was really to test a purpose-built model of case management, coordinated services, and housing."

"We created and are running this pilot, the state funds the contract, and the City of Portland's General Assistance office determines eligibility for participation in the program," she said.

"And what's unusual in Maine is that asylum seekers are eligible for General Assistance," Allaire explained.

General Assistance is a form of voucher-based welfare that is administered by municipal governments but funded mostly through state tax revenues.

"So as the General Assistance budgets were under more pressure due to growing unhoused populations, the state was looking for ways to take pressure off this budget, and that's where this idea evolved from," she said.

Allaire said that at the time of the launch of their 2022 pilot program, "asylum-seeking families" comprised the "largest portion of the unhoused population" in Maine.

The Catholic Charities executive outlined the funding model of the transitional housing program, in which the state provides funds via contracts with Catholic Charities, hotels, and a "large network" of contracts with other organizations which provide various services to migrant families.

Joanna Testa, program director at Catholic Charities Maine, then described the process asylum seekers go through when they enter into the organization's transitional housing program.

"As soon as families arrive from the City of Portland, whether from overflow shelters or other overflow placements," Testa explained, "they have some of their belongings inspected in an educational process with our residential staff to examine whether or not there may be any bugs that are being brought into the facility."

"We try to eliminate that before people are actually brought in," she said, adding that they "do some education" with the asylum seekers on proper food storage.

Following the inspection, Catholic Charities does a "rules orientation," by introducing the migrant families to "some of the U.S. law around the supervision and discipline of children as well as domestic violence episodes."

This is done, Testa explained, so that the migrants "have that information right from the beginning and understand what the expectations of shelter are" in the facility.

Catholic Charities then works with the migrant families to maximize the amount of taxpayer-funded welfare the families receive.

That effort includes determining their eligibility and to signing them up for various welfare programs, including General Assistance, medical assistance, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance. Program (SNAP) a.k.a. Food Stamps, and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).

The organization also does on-site school and English language class registration for migrant families, as well as partnering with the Maine Center for Disease Control to make sure the children have all vaccinations needed for public school attendance.

Additionally, Catholic Charities connects the migrant families with volunteer attorneys to aid them in correctly filing their asylum applications, helps them to apply for work authorization 150 days after filing their asylum application, and works with "housing navigation partners" to find permanent housing for the migrant families.

EXCLUSIVE: Cardinal Müller says mass migration is being used to destroy national identities

Cardinal Müller also believes the elites are committing a 'genocide' by promoting abortion and euthanasia. The German cardinal said many globalists believe that there are 'too many' people on Earth who are causing 'climate damage.'

Cardinal Gerhard Müller has said that "self-appointed" globalists are using mass migration to destroy the national identity of countries. 

In an exclusive interview with LifeSiteNews, Müller talked about the ideologies behind globalism and their dire consequences.

"Mass immigration is not about helping people but about destroying national identity," Müller said. "They say that national identity is nationalism, which has caused all the wars, so they say they are against nationalism, but they are really against the nation."

"If nationalism is the reason for wars, we must ask who is financing the wars and what interests are behind it."

"They want everyone to be completely isolated and not connected by language, culture, family ties, or a native land where you feel at home," Müller continued.

"They want to destroy all that. They want everyone to be atomized, without cultural and religious roots and identity," he concluded.

Müller also believes the elites are committing a "genocide" by promoting abortion and euthanasia.

The German cardinal said many globalists believe that there are "too many" people on Earth who are causing "climate damage."

To fight this supposed "overpopulation," these powerful elites are using abortion and euthanasia as part of an "extermination program," Müller told LifeSiteNews.

"And at the same time, anyone who criticizes this is called a Nazi by those who themselves promote the murderous Nazi ideology of 'might makes right'... The genocide that is now being carried out is protected through propaganda by equating its critics with the people who committed the genocide in the past," the cardinal added.

"The perversion of their logic is to portray the victims as the perpetrators. What is the depopulation program other than a plan of reducing people through violence?"

Müller explained that the "Nazi" accusation is often used as an "instrument of power" to suppress dissent.

"They [the globalists] don't care that suicide rates among young people are growing worldwide. It's just right for them."

This low regard for human life comes from the philosophical position of materialism that the globalists subscribe to, Müller told LifeSiteNews. According to the materialists, "human beings are just matter, just a mass of people that can be manipulated," he explained.

"You have to look at the French-Romanian philosopher Emil Cioran, in his book Le Mauvais demiurge, which propagates the most ruthless hatred of creation and of the goodness of God, spewing forth the snake venom of the nihilism of all Jacobin, communist, fascist and woke 'elites' of the last two centuries," Müller said.

"They [the globalists] don't feel anything about it either. For them, people are just a number... 10,000 less is good for the statistics!"

The former prefect of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) said that the globalist system is a blend of capitalism and communism. Western globalists are capitalists with a "socialist mindset," according to Müller.

"In this system, totalitarianism is merged with materialism," he stated.

"And whoever has the most money is in power and controls and pays the media."

Müller said that it is well documented by reliable sources that one of the major German newspapers, Der Spiegel, is partly funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Müller also told LifeSiteNews that climate change and the "green" movement are being used as a "substitute religion," to which many adhere "instead of spreading the original [Christianity]." 

"The respect for the creature is derived from the belief in the good creator and does not need a catastrophic worldview."

Instead of genuinely caring about the environment, the globalists who fly their private jets thousands of times are using the climate agenda to "make a lot of money," according to the former head of the CDF.

Moreover, he pointed out that children are being sexualized at an early age to make them addicted and compliant.

"Sexualization in general and early childhood sexualization in particular is being used to keep people quiet," Müller said. "They use sexuality like a drug."

Müller named several attributes as the key characteristics of today's globalism: "Materialism, totalitarianism, contempt for humanity, uprooting, and the destruction of people's identity."

For the globalist agenda, the Catholic Church represents an obstacle, and therefore, it must be brought in alignment with globalism, Müller noted. 

The Church "is not just being run over, it's being turned upside down," he said. For the globalists to be successful, the Church "has to run in the same direction [as globalism]," Müller stated.

"But the Church of Christ is the sacrament of salvation for the world and the vanguard against the self-destruction of mankind by negativists and nihilists," he concluded.

Many honest statements by the Cardinal in the above article. A problem of course, is in the reality, that the Roman Catholic Church itself is the wealthiest and most influential globalist system on earth. It rubs shoulders with, and is in cahoots with all the rest of these globalist minded elitists. Nevertheless, his statements regarding globalists are true. Even though he does not apply them to his own institution, which is neck deep in the facilitation of mass global legal or illegal immigration.

QuoteCatholic Charities flights lead to surging number of migrants at O'Hare

When Alberto Davila, a new immigrant from Venezuela, was given plane tickets last month to come to Chicago from San Antonio, Texas, a long stay in O'Hare Airport isn't what he and his family were told to expect.

"What a surprise this was," Davila said, looking around at the hundreds of people sleeping head-to-toe at O'Hare. "I thought we'd be at a shelter, a stable place where we could work and our kids could get an education."

Davila, 28, his wife and two kids are among the thousands arriving at the airport with tickets bought by Catholic Charities of San Antonio using federal dollars.

Many say they were told that in Chicago, they'd have help starting a new life. Instead, they have found themselves at O'Hare in an overcrowded "landing zone," as it's called by the city.

That growth is mostly because of the San Antonio Catholic Charities group, according to the city, though there also have been arrivals from other places, such as Houston and New York City. The nonprofit has continued sending migrants despite the city's insistence that it's at capacity.

Many said they are grateful to have shelter at all but are surprised by the living conditions.

On Monday, 549 people were living at O'Hare, according to the city, but the number of people camped out at the airport had ballooned to over 800 in earlier this month, around twice as many as the start of September, when the Sun-Times first reported on the growing crisis at O'Hare. There are currently 3,700 people waiting for space in city shelters to open up.

The airport became an unofficial shelter in June when more migrants arriving by plane and buses left police stations too crowded to bring people there.

The number of migrants at the airport, however, has grown so much that they're now camped out on flattened cardboard boxes throughout the entire ground-floor space.

More than 2,000 migrants arrived via plane from San Antonio between June 3 and Sept. 15, according to the latest available numbers from the city.

Many, like Davila, told the Sun-Times they came to Chicago at the recommendation of Catholic Charities in San Antonio.

Jefferson Ugueto, his wife and 3-year-old daughter said they were directed to come because it's closer to their ultimate destination — upper Minnesota, where they were told by Catholic Charities there's a shelter.

Now that they're in Chicago, they say they have no idea how they'll make the rest of the journey to the small town near the North Dakota border.

"We have no money," said Ugueto, 27. "I don't know what we're going to do."

Leaders at Catholic Charities in San Antonio have said sending migrants via plane is more humane than busing them, which can be a lengthy journey, during which one migrant toddler died in August.

"How would you feel about being in a bus for two days without knowing the language?" asked Antonio Fernandez, CEO of the San Antonio nonprofit.

Since a phone call with Mayor Brandon Johnson's administration in early September about the strain put on the city by the arrival of more migrants, Fernandez said the charity has been encouraging migrants to pick a destination other than Chicago if they don't have a sponsor.

"We recommend people not to go to Chicago," he said, but, "we cannot force them."

In the week after that phone call, the number of arrivals from San Antonio, the vast majority of whom are sent by Catholic Charities, still grew by 33%, according to city data.

Fernandez, who became CEO of Catholic Charities in Texas after several years with Catholic Charities in Chicago, said the organization in San Antonio had been forced to become a transportation hub because of the sheer number of people crossing the border.

More than 18,500 migrants have arrived in Chicago in the last year, requiring city assistance, but the number going through the organization's San Antonio welcoming center was more than 10 times that, according to Fernandez. Top destinations, Fernandez said, included New York, Miami and Chicago, although he said the charity does not keep a record of where it sends people.

Catholic Charities doesn't shelter people for extended stays. There were over 11,200 people at the city's 20 shelters on Wednesday and over 3,300 at Chicago police stations.

The plane tickets are paid for using funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Fernandez said. The nonprofit has been awarded $48 million through FEMA's Emergency Food and Shelter Program since December. That's compared to about $7 million awarded to Chicago, according to FEMA.

Those funds are spent on staffing the welcoming center to ensure they deliver "trauma-informed care," according to Fernandez, but most is spent on transportation.

Cristina Pacione-Zayas, first deputy chief of staff for Johnson, confirmed the mayor's call with Fernandez last month. She said she understood "they're trying to manage" a high number of arrivals but called what they were doing "reckless."

"They're trying to displace the responsibility," she said of Catholic Charities.

Onomir, a migrant who asked to be identified by her first name only, told the Sun-Times about her stay at O'Hare with her daughter. She said they spent nearly a week without a shower or a bed.

"That was inhumane," she said.

By August, others were telling the Sun-Times that they were staying at O'Hare for as long as three weeks.

"We don't have everything we want or need, but at least we're not out on the street," said Ender Morin, 35, another migrant arrival from Catholic Charities in San Antonio.

The wait can be especially hard for those with children, many of whom are sick from the food or cold floors, parents say.

"We all came here to work," said Maria Sánchez, who said she had been at the airport for nearly a week with her two kids. "I thought we'd be able to go out and get a better life."

Even adults without kids can find it difficult.

Cesar Zambrado complained of being hungry, of food that would "send you to the toilet," long lines to use a microwave to reheat food and boredom.

Above all, the 32-year-old said he wanted a change of clothes. He said he had been wearing the same clothes for weeks since leaving a California detention center.

"I thought I would arrive and be able to get into a shelter and start looking for work," he said, ruefully. "It's been very hard."

Don't be mislead. When the Catholic governors of Texas and Florida send their illegal immigrants to other cities in other states, they are not really fighting against the papacies open boarder social justice agenda. They are in fact helping spread the migrants around the country as their papal leaders desire.

5 Catholic Ministries Helping Migrants at the Border

For more than a century, Catholic Extension has partnered with dioceses and parishes, religious sisters and priests, and various faith-based nonprofits that offer direct pastoral and charitable care to immigrant families on the southern border. In the last ten years, we have funded more than $20.8 million in assistance to border regions.

Here are five organizations that are providing compassionate assistance to our brothers and sisters at the border. Your generous donation can help support ministries like these.  .......

No surprise of course, in the recent help the Biden administration received from the Supreme Court regarding the removal of barbed wire at the border. Catholic Joe Biden and Catholic majority Supreme Court are simply carrying out the social justice teachings and agenda of the Vatican and Pope. the leaders of the Catholic church.

It may seem strange that we find Catholic Governors Abbot and DeSantis battling against other Catholic political powers. What better way though, to maintain complete control of the issue. What have Abbot and DeSantis really accomplished to date, but stretch out the issue over the course of Biden's entire term, while the border has remained wide open? Even transporting the illegals all over the country as some supposed act of defiance, when that is exactly what the Catholic church and lefties want in any case.

Let us wait and see if anything ever actually does come of this, before Biden's term is over. If not, the reasons are obvious. Intending to allow the open border for the duration of his term. Too little, too late, too bad. The story of the vast majority of politics today, by the few politicians that actually "seem" to care.

A rare media confession and confirmation of the Catholic churches direct involvement in the mass illegal immigration movement.

Catholica,

SDA's are programmed to believe that the New Testament Church rapidly became corrupted and succumbed to the gates of hell. BY the 3rd Century the Church was totally corrupted.

After corruption the SDA Church (through its prophet Ellen White) claimed that the beast power started to push out incorrect understandings about God primarily that God is WITHOUT BODY & PARTS. The SDA Pioneers with Ellen's prophetic confirmation states that God is a person with all the members parts and organs of a perfect man.  That's the 1st one.

The second corruption they state is that man does not have a spirit that continues on after death and thus praying to Mary and the Saints equates to "spiritualism".

The 3rd corruption is the notion of Hell. SDA state that there hasn't been a burning hell at anytime in the past and that the only time hell will be activated is after the Resurrection of the dead when the lost are cast into it - the lost will then burn up like chaff in a fire and become as if they never had existed.

SDA's believe God commissioned them to take these messages to the world and "RESTORE" the truth about God's character and true Bible teaching.

More Cathlodox broken record rubbish. Baby-on, son of Babylon.

QuoteAdventist Church Organization Helping to Facilitate Mass Illegal Migration

According to the Center for Immigration Studies some churches (including the Seventh-day Adventist Church) are assisting in a massive UN-led immigration project.  According to the above article, a CIS examination reveals pass-through taxpayer funding of the worst mass migration in U.S. history. 

AUSTIN, Texas — As the Center for Immigration Studies recently reported, a United Nations-led "Regional Refugee and Migrant Response Plan (RMRP)" calls for more than 200 nonprofit groups to dole out $1.6 billion in cash debit cards, food, clothing, medical treatment, shelter, and even "humanitarian transportation" during 2024 to millions of U.S.-bound immigrants in 17 Latin American nations and Mexico.  At first it was unclear who was involved in this and where the money was coming from.

"But suspicions that the Biden administration is directly footing the bill for the most voluminous mass migration crisis in U.S. history, now in its fourth straight year, can now be confirmed."

A follow-up CIS examination of the more than 30 faith-based nonprofits among those UN NGO partners — representing Jewish, Lutheran, Seventh Day Adventist, Catholic, and nondenominational evangelical organizations — shows that the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) have been mainlining taxpayer funds to these groups, which then distribute them to keep hundreds of thousands of migrants comfortably moving toward illegal U.S. southern border crossings.

The UN has entrusted faith-based establishment NGOs with handling a lot of the $372 million in "Cash and Voucher Assistance" and "Multipurpose Cash Assistance" the broader endeavor will hand out to an estimated 624,000 migrants "in-transit" to the United States during 2024.  That money is most often handed out, other UN documents show, as pre-paid, rechargeable debit cards, but also hard "cash in envelopes", bank transfers, and mobile transfers that the U.S. border-bound travelers can use for whatever they want.

Adventists
According to the article, the Seventh-day Adventist Church's "global humanitarian arm", the Silver Spring, Md., Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA), plans to distribute more than $10 million, nearly 38 percent of it as cash and cash vouchers and the rest as food, shelter, and hygiene needs in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina, and Peru.

ADRA received significant funding from the State Department from 2021-2023, nearly $51 million in 2021, $32 million in 2022, and more than $9 million in 2023 and two unspecified grants so far for 2024, according to USAspending.  It's unclear how much of that is earmarked for U.S.-bound immigrants in Latin America, but clearly some of it will be in 2024.  Brazil and Honduras were among the top countries where ADRA spent money.  First Covid, and now this?

Observations
We believe that the PARL department of the GC is way too chummy with the United Nations (UN).  As a globalist organization that is two parts incompetent and two parts corrupt, true Adventism has zero in common with the UN.  This relationship weakens the Seventh-day Adventist Church, instead of strengthening it.  Who in their right mind would ever think that our Seventh-day Adventist founders would advise such a federation with a group like the United Nations?

Or, just add a fundamental belief that the our church administration leans hard left.  Full disclosure, there.

Organizations associated with the Catholic Church, collectively, move among the largest volumes of cash and other aid into the hands of U.S.-bound foreign nationals, more than $26 million.  Three Jesuit-associated groups are to move some $5.3 million into immigrant hands, while the Catholic Commission for Social Justice sends out nearly $2 million.

We have been warning about social justice for 12 years, and this is one of the reasons.  It causes the church to support social justice causes like feminism, abortion, radical environmentalism, LGBTQ, CRT, a godless worldview, and now illegal immigration.

A better approach would be to break off the relationship between the GC and the United Nations and focus on spreading the Three Angels Messages around the world.  Our committed worldwide members would get behind that.  We would too.

The United Nations
Alice and Foster Bailey founded "Lucifer Publishing Company."  After the first two or three years, the name was changed to "Lucis Publishing Co."

Alice and Foster Bailey founded the Lucis Trust in 1922.  Its activities include the Arcane School, World Goodwill, Triangles, a quarterly magazine called The Beacon, and a publishing company primarily intended to publish Bailey's many books. The Arcane School gives instruction and guidance in meditation via correspondence based on the ideas in Bailey's books.  World Goodwill is intended to promote better human relations through goodwill, which they define as "love in action".  That "action" included the support of the United Nations.

In 1932, the Lucis Trust established World Goodwill, which has been historically recognized by the UN, boasts "defining new Sustainable Development Goals for humanity," and encourages people to pay homage to the Meditation Room.

Inside UN headquarters is an ominous 'meditation' room.  The Lucis Trust ha been in charge of this UN meditation room since its founding. And still is.  Its goal is to bring all religions and nations together.  That should be easy since, "Uniformity of beliefs is unnecessary."  What's necessary?  A shared spiritual experience and collective service, namely mysticism and social justice.

Pray that our church leaders would have the wisdom and courage to withdraw themselves from this corrupt organization.

Looks like apostate SDA's are all caught up in the illegal immigration invasion along with other apostate Protestant denominations.

QuoteBiden Admin. Sends Millions to Religious Nonprofits Facilitating Mass Illegal Migration

A CIS examination of one subset of 200-plus NGOs helping a mammoth UN-led immigration assistance project reveals pass-through taxpayer funding of the worst mass migration in U.S. history

By Todd Bensman on January 30, 2024

AUSTIN, Texas — As the Center for Immigration Studies recently reported, a United Nations-led "Regional Refugee and Migrant Response Plan (RMRP)" calls for more than 200 nonprofit groups to dole out $1.6 billion in cash debit cards, food, clothing, medical treatment, shelter, and even "humanitarian transportation" during 2024 to millions of U.S.-bound immigrants in 17 Latin American nations and Mexico.

But suspicions that the administration of President Joe Biden is directly footing the bill for at least part of facilitating the most voluminous mass migration crisis in U.S. history, now in its fourth straight year, can now be confirmed.

A follow-up CIS examination of the more than 30 faith-based nonprofits among those UN NGO partners — representing Jewish, Lutheran, Seventh Day Adventist, Catholic, and nondenominational evangelical organizations — shows that the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) have been mainlining taxpayer funds to these groups, which then distribute them to keep hundreds of thousands of migrants comfortably moving toward illegal U.S. southern border crossings.

HIAS. A prime example is the self-described "Jewish American" nonprofit organization HIAS of Silver Spring, Md. (incorporated in 1903 as the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society), which has pledged $17.1 million in aid to immigrants in at least seven Latin American nations during 2024, the UN's RMRP planning documents show. It turns out that in FY 2022, 47 percent of revenue reported by HIAS came as grants from government agencies, the majority from the State Department, but some also from the Department of Homeland Security, according to the group's tax filings and other sources, with the balance coming from a mix of major corporate sponsors and other sources.

But there can be little question about the origins and purpose of at least some of HIAS's $17 million pledge to the UN's Latin America migrant trails project. Last year, the State Department's PRM gave HIAS a $6 million grant for it, according to USAspending.gov, a database that tracks federal spending.

The first infusions of another $5.2 million State Department PRM grant to HIAS this year — explicitly for the UN endeavor in Latin America — started arriving in September 2023 with the last of it to come in September of this year, according to USAspending.gov.

All $11 million was earmarked to HIAS by the State Department's overseas refugee assistance programs for the Western Hemisphere, which the UN plan aims to support through "direct emergency humanitarian assistance such as food, non-food items, shelter, health, psychosocial support" in major migration transit countries like Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.

A UN "activity explorer" database of the participating NGOs shows that some $6.1 million of 2024's HIAS commitment will go out as cash cards, cash vouchers, and cash in-kind services while most of the rest goes to humanitarian transportation, food, shelter, and various services.

Record Taxpayer Support of UN Spearheading Agencies

UN budget documents, federal grant-tracking databases, and other public sources show that the State Department's PRM and USAID also have poured taxpayer money into at least the other religion-oriented NGOs that CIS selected for examination, including Catholic, Lutheran, and Seventh Day Adventist groups. The list of participating NGOs comes from the UN's 2023-2024 Regional Refugee and Migrant Response Plan (RMRP), which lists more than 200 of the groups on p. 268.

The Center for Immigration Studies has exported that list here to make it available for further public study. Another 20 new NGO groups signed on for the coming year, although they are not readily identified.

But the State Department and USAID also sent historic volumes of cash to the Latin America project's main United Nations overseers, which also pass that aid straight to migrants: the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Organization of Migration (IOM).

The State Department's PRM and USAID have given IOM $1.4 billion in just the last 12 months, by far the most on record, according to USAspending.gov, a database that tracks federal spending. PRM is also the biggest donor to UNHCR, which is among 15 different UN agencies that will spread money and aid all along the migrant trails of Latin America. This is part and parcel of a State Department agreement to a "2023-2025 Framework for Cooperation" with the UNHCR to pay into the effort and to politically support its goals. The State Department openly acknowledges issuing guidance to field staff on budget and planning coordination for the Latin American effort, and it has turned over operation of major U.S. government policy initiatives in Latin America, such as an expansion of "refugee" centers and management of a no-interest "international travel loan" programs.

The State Department's PRM, USAID, and UN agencies all see this straight-line pass-through of American taxpayer assistance with "multilateral organizations" as "social and economic protection and risk reduction" for vulnerable stateless people "forced" to flee home countries, as the 2023 PRM grant to HIAS put it.

"PRM promotes U.S. interests by providing protection, easing suffering, and resolving the plight of persecuted and forcibly displaced people around the world," the State Department's PRM website explains.

But a more critical interpretation of such direct Biden government infusions of taxpayer money — and operational closeness with the UN agency recipients — is that it hurts the country by easing the northward path for mainly economic immigrants who voluntarily make the journey knowing in advance that all of their basic needs will be provided for and that border policies virtually guarantee their entry and long-term stay.

The funding intervention raises the specter that Biden administration appointees in these government agencies, many hailing from NGOs like HIAS, engineered the catch-and-release policies that initially triggered the mass migration crisis in 2021, then arranged for taxpayer money to support the flows. (HIAS publicly lauded the 2021 nomination of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who served as a HIAS board member.)

Some Republicans have proposed legislation to halt U.S. funding of the UN agencies and their NGO partners, but short of illumination about how it all works, the legislation has gained no traction.

"This is a slap in the face to American taxpayers who foot the bill for this corrupt globalist institution," Texas Rep. Lance Gooden said last year. "Republicans must condition UN funding and stop this taxpayer funded invasion immediately."

In God They Really Trust

The UN has entrusted faith-based establishment NGOs with handling a lot of the $372 million in "Cash and Voucher Assistance" and "Multipurpose Cash Assistance" the broader endeavor will hand out to an estimated 624,000 migrants "in-transit" to the United States during 2024. That money is most often handed out, other UN documents show, as pre-paid, rechargeable debit cards, but also hard "cash in envelopes", bank transfers, and mobile transfers that the U.S. border-bound travelers can use for whatever they want.

The Jewish group is hardly alone among faith-based NGOs essentially passing through U.S. taxpayer money to immigrants in just these ways.

Adventists. The Seventh-day Adventist Church's "global humanitarian arm", the Silver Spring, Md., Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA), plans to distribute more than $10 million, nearly 38 percent of it as cash and cash vouchers and the rest as food, shelter, and hygiene needs in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina, and Peru.

ADRA received significant funding from USAID and the State Department from 2021-2023, nearly $51 million in 2021, $32 million in 2022, and more than $9 million in 2023 and two unspecified grants so far for 2024, according to USAspending. It's unclear how much of that is earmarked for U.S.-bound immigrants in Latin America, but clearly some of it will be in 2024. Brazil and Honduras were among the top countries where ADRA spent money.

Organizations associated with the Catholic Church, collectively, move among the largest volumes of cash and other aid into the hands of U.S.-bound foreign nationals, more than $26 million. Three Jesuit-associated groups are to move some $5.3 million into immigrant hands, while the Catholic Commission for Social Justice sends out nearly $2 million.

Catholics. The highly visible Catholic Charities USA is not on the list of those working south of the border with this UN project, although the NGO and its many affiliate components receive tens of millions of dollars in federal awards to manage illegal immigrant transportation north from the border and resettlement activity in the United States interior.

But some 13 franchises of the nonprofit Caritas, whose website states that it is "inspired by the Catholic faith" and is "the helping hand of the Church", will dole out $12.3 million to immigrants south of the border, much of it as cash and cash vouchers, the activity explorer search tool shows.

USAID and the State Department's PRM have given more than $11 million to one of them, Caritas Brazil, since the mass migration began in 2021, including $3 million pledged through December 2024 "overseas refugee assistance programs for the Western Hemisphere" that include "food, non-food items, shelter, health, [and] psychosocial support", USAspending shows here and also here.

By way of explaining its views on this aid, Caritas Switzerland, one of the most giving of the 13 franchises, says on its website that migration "globally across international borders in non-regulated forms ... represents a legitimate strategy of people to improve their lives".

No matter that UN-member nations along the way don't want this traffic coursing through their territories. Caritas is going to "cover basic needs, such as food, personal hygiene products, clean clothes, safe decent accommodation and subsidized transport".

Other faith-based NGOs representing Christian denominations are well represented and also funded, in part, directly by the U.S. treasury.

Lutherans and More. In FY 2023, USAID awarded Lutheran World Relief a million-dollar grant for this year. The group would hand off about $181,000 supporting immigrants in Latin America.

USAID in recent years has given the nondenominational Boone, N.C., Samaritan's Purse $29 million "for programs overseas", albeit much of it for activities in Africa. But Samaritan's Purse has pledged $718,513 to the UN project in Latin America.

About the Rest

The 200-plus NGOs are listed for their activities south of the U.S. border, although some, like HIAS, also support immigrants inside the United States whom they have already helped cross. The list of these groups do not include a burgeoning number of large and small NGOs that work mainly inside the United States providing, for instance, transportation into the interior as well as shelter, food, housing, and many other resettlement needs and wants.

This examination of some of the religion-oriented NGOs indicates probable Biden government taxpayer support for many more of the others. But pending further research, the extent of tax money diversion to them is not publicly known.

The UN plan lists 57 as "international NGOs" like HIAS and ADRA, but also 132 "national NGOs", probably indigenous to foreign countries. Further investigation would need to determine whether the State Department and USAID send pass-through money to these. The plan also names a mysterious category of "Others" such as the Red Cross Movement and "academia".

Language in the UN plan for Latin America in 2024 leaves no doubt that its architects in both the UN and U.S. agencies are in lockstep about one thing: aggressively expanding the ranks of NGOs working on the migration trails, which if logic follows, would portend even greater diversions of U.S. taxpayer money to support them.

QuoteWho is Helping Biden Facilitate America's Border Crisis?

Heritage recently uncovered that Catholic Charities and other non government organizations have been working with the Biden administration to help move migrants across the country. This week, Mike Howell, director of Heritage's Oversight Project, will explain the investigation and how the mass resettlement of illegal aliens is impacting nearly every congressional district in America.

Michelle Cordero: From The Heritage Foundation, I'm Michelle Cordero, and this is Heritage Explains.

Cordero: In fiscal year 2022, a record 2.7 million illegal aliens crossed the border according to the US Customs and Border Protection. That number is more than a million higher than last year, which was also a record breaking year. And it keeps getting worse.

Clip: Illegal migrants meanwhile surged at the southern border ahead of the end of Title 42. Look at this group. This is the biggest group we've ever seen. Next week, Title 42 will go away. But look at what happened yesterday. Over 1000 migrants crossing into El Paso, Texas on Sunday. After Mexican police escorted and released nearly 20 buses full of migrants to various non-government organizations in a Mexican town near the U.S. border.

Cordero: The Biden administration is to blame for this escalating crisis. But according to a new investigation by Heritage's Oversight Project, they're not the only party responsible. Heritage recently uncovered that Catholic charities and other non-government organizations have been working with the Biden administration to help move migrants across the country. By examining the movement of 30,000 mobile devices in the United States, Heritage actually charted the path of thousands of illegal aliens making their way to a city near you.

Cordero: Today, Mike Howell, Director of Heritage's Oversight Project, will explain the investigation and how the mass resettlement of illegal aliens is impacting nearly every congressional district in America. Our conversation after this short break.

Kevin Roberts: As Conservatives, sometimes it feels like we're constantly on defense against bad ideas, bad philosophy, revisionist history, junk science, and divisive politics. But here's something I've come to understand. When faced with bad ideas, it's not enough to just defend. If we want to save this country, then it's time to go on offense. Conservative principles are ideas that work, individual responsibility, strong local communities, and belief in the American Dream. As a former college professor and current president of The Heritage Foundation, my life's mission is to learn, educate, and take action. My podcast, The Kevin Roberts Show, is my opportunity to share that journey with you. I'll be diving into the critical issues that plague our nation, having deep conversations with high profile guests, some of whom may surprise you, and I want to ensure freedom for the next generation. Find The Kevin Roberts Show wherever you get your podcasts.

Cordero: Mike, thank you so much for joining us.

Mike Howell: Thank you for having me. Good to be here.

Cordero: So the Biden administration has caused and allows to persist the largest border crisis in American history, but they're not the only party responsible for facilitating this crisis. What exactly did The Heritage Oversight Project find out?

Howell: Well, what we discovered through a memo released last week is that a large network of non-profits, non-governmental organizations, NGOs for short, down at the border are acting as a massive way point and resettlement program. Basically what happens is border patrol turns over overflow of illegal aliens to facilities on the border. These NGO facilities then take care of lodge and care and travel to disperse legal aliens throughout the country.

Howell: Now, what was most remarkable about our report is of course we knew this was happening, we've seen it with our own eyes. We heard from border patrol at the time. Is the spread and the magnitude of this operation. I thought after we began this, we would discover that illegal aliens were going to five, 10, 15 states predominantly.

Howell: But no, what we found is they're virtually going to every single congressional district in the US mainland. And the way we proved this was we went out and we bought bulk cell phone data that pinged the location data of the cell phones. And so we geofenced it to these NGOs, tracked the anonymized cell phones throughout the country. And then when the numbers came back and the data came back, shocker, they're going to every congressional district. And this is just a one month period and only 30,000 total devices. And so the spread is complete throughout the entire country.

Howell: It really gives statistical proof to the point that every town now is a border town in the Biden administration.

Cordero: Wow. So NGOs are, just to give an example, this is churches, shelters, organizations like that?

Howell: Right. For the most part. Some of them are affiliated with national religious charities. That being said, calling them religious organizations I think is a stretch.

Howell: What we're seeing, much like the left's march through all of the institutions, whether it's the military, our culture, our schools, et cetera, the same thing has happened in a lot of the charitable arms of churches. Catholic charities is a prime example. They're really the 800 pound gorilla when it comes to this.

Howell: They are deeply involved in facilitating the travel of illegal aliens throughout the country. But it doesn't end there. These NGOs are also, a lot of money behind this, involved in lobbying the Biden administration and our Congress to keep the border wide open. And so it's kind of this full scale operation where not only they're involved in the border, but they're involved in D.C. making sure the border stays open through policy and support to the Biden administration. A lot of their staffers and people connected in those NGO networks are in the Biden administration.
And it's not just in America. This is an international issue. Mass migration is something that's pushed by NGOs across the world. When illegal aliens make the journey to the border, they often stop at NGO facilities along the way, they have presence in Mexico. There are lawyers that help illegal aliens file frivolous asylum claims. They're involved in the push out of certain countries.

Howell: And it's not just in America. I mean, we see this in Europe. It's really an international operation. This is why the Open Society Foundation and George Soros and his billions of dollars are the central node in this. I mean, there's a lot more players. But it really shows that the left's view of massive, massive illegal immigration to destabilize, frankly, the West is really the plan here. That's what they're aiming to do. They don't believe in territorial sovereignty or the nation state. And so through the mass resettlement of illegal aliens, they're trying to undo that.

Cordero: Wow. Interesting. Okay. So how are the NGOs helping exactly, what is it that they're doing once they have the migrants there?

Howell: The biggest thing they do is liaise travel. They basically complete the last leg of the human smuggling chain. The cartels bring them to the border. Illegal aliens turn themselves into Border Patrol because they full well know they're not going to get removed. And then Border Patrol drops them off at the NGOs. And then the NGOs liaises their travel and gets them wherever they need to go in the country. Oftentimes, for a lot of folks, that means to a place that they were trafficked to work or a human smuggling design. Obviously drugs are a big part of this as well when you have the Border Patrol, with all their eyes on this problem, they're taking their eyes off the drugs. And the drugs, especially the fentanyl, is a national epidemic at this point.

Cordero: There are charts in the Oversight Project's memo, I'll link them in the show notes for our listeners, because they really are mind blowing. And as you reminded earlier, this is just a tiny sample, correct?

Howell: Yes. 30,000 devices for a one month period. And so if you compare that to the overall numbers, we've had over five million people cross during the Biden administration alone, I think if you were to extrapolate 30,000 and what we found from this to the five million number, we would be blown away.

Cordero: So what was the purpose of this investigation, why did the Oversight Project want to do this?

Howell: Well, first off, I think a lot of people who donate to these organizations don't full well know what their money's going towards. And so if anyone out there is listening and donates to Catholic charities or any of these other groups mentioned in the report, I think they should rethink that donation and their relationship with those organizations. Sure, they do a lot of good in certain places, but this is a big bad.
It allows illegal immigration to operate. If the Biden administration wasn't capable of turning over illegal aliens at the border to get them into the interior, they'd have a huge mess on their hands. A year or so ago, when thousands of Haitian migrants had to stay in a makeshift facility under a bridge at the border, that's the only time the Biden administration really took heat from the liberal media on this. Without the control of the situation, they wouldn't be allowed to continue this crisis. They'd just have a lot of illegal aliens in Texas and at the border trying to figure out what to do. And that's not the look the Biden administration wants.

Howell: This is a resettlement program. The Biden administration wants open borders for the same reason these internationalist NGOs do. They want to destroy the West. They think that mass immigration and demographic change is a political benefit to them. It puts people on government dependency. It massively changes the population of a country. It waters down community and civic traditions and cohesion. It unsettles the country. This is a Marxist key part of their philosophy is that they need to build class warfare, and there's no better way to do that than rapidly changing the demographics of a country with classes of people dependent on the government.

Howell: And so our point is to let the American people know, and especially Congress, that it's not just the Biden administration.The Biden administration is downstream and they're the ones obviously implementing the policies and responsible for it. But there are massive, huge influences weighing on them that they're downstream from. And that's not just by the way in the immigration context, this is how they operate in the green energy space, this is how they operate in virtually every other policy arena. They're basically the implementing arm of the radical international left.

Cordero: Well said. Well said. And it's worse than that because, again, they're not just resettling illegal aliens in the United States, but they're also enabling cartels.

Howell: A hundred percent. I mean, we've lost operational control of our border to cartels. And we talk about the cartels quite a bit. I don't think people fully understand how barbaric these organizations are. They frankly make American gangs, like the Bloods or Crips, look like a bunch of sissies. These people are ruthless in how they mistreat, abuse, kill, murder, dismember innocent people. And the women and children who are turned over to the cartels' custody during this journey are all too frequently raped and abused. It is a horrific, horrific underground smuggling network that we basically just let happen.

Howell: And the cartels, their control doesn't just stop south of the border, they're in the United States. They are on the receiving end of a lot of these illegals. I mean, this is MS-13, I'm from Northern Virginia, we have a huge MS-13 problem. That didn't used to be the case decades ago. But now with the amount of illegal immigration and mass resettlement, MS-13 is a real problem. And it is not something to be trifled with. These are some bad hombres.

Cordero: Mike, in conclusion, just tell me a little bit more about the Heritage Oversight Project and what else do you guys might have coming up?

Howell: Right. So the Heritage Oversight Project is essentially the investigative arm of The Heritage Foundation, and working with our colleagues on the right, trying to bring together all of the greatest minds and resources to basically fill the void that traditional investigative media used to. There used to be a skepticism of government. There used to actually be legitimate congressional oversight that got information out there. Those things are all gone. And so it's information warfare out there, and it's a one-sided fight because the left controls all the microphones.

Howell: And so what we're doing is realizing that white papers alone aren't going to meet the moment of the agenda that we need to implement. We need to get some facts out there. So we're suing. We've basically built a law firm suing on FOIA request based off strategic information that we've been able to gather. We are engaging in interesting projects like this data collection one we did.

Howell: And we're basically working with people throughout the country to make sure we can build a body of evidence to counter some of the less big narratives. And the short term objective is this needs to help drive and support the congressional oversight agenda specifically of the House now that it's in Conservative hands.

Howell: I mean, American people, when they went to the voting booth, one of the big reasons is they wanted to break up unified control of Washington D.C. And when you break up unified control, you get some oversight, especially in the House. And so we need to make sure that oversight's done well.

Howell: The Biden administration's been a disaster the last two years. And House and Senate Democrats haven't done any meaningful oversight. And so we need to do some meaningful oversight. And that needs to result in actual accountability and policy change.
So that's the mission of the Oversight Project. It's an exciting startup. It's doing non-traditional work. And I think it has a lot of people excited. And I mean, I'm certainly excited about it.

Cordero: Well, Mike Howell, thanks again for your tremendous work on this investigation. It really helped to paint the picture of this epic crisis. And thank you again for coming on to talk about it.

Howell: Hey, thanks for having me.

Cordero: And that wraps up this week's episode. I want to thank each and every one of you for listening to Heritage Explains. And wish you and your loved ones a happy holiday.

Cordero: If you liked today's podcast, as a Christmas present to me, would you please share it on social media, it's the best way to help us grow. Thanks again and we'll see you in 2023.

Let's face the facts. It is no coincidence, that under the leadership of only our second Roman Catholic President, our borders are left wide open directly in line with papal immigration stated policy recommendations. While massive amounts of tax payers monies are being funneled to the 800 pound gorilla Catholic Charities, and other denominations including SDA's, who are abusing their role or function in society. Taking tax payers money with or without their permission to do that which a great many do not approve of. Shame on the SDA church which professes to stand for separation of church and state while aiding and abetting the robbers of our people. It is bad enough when a church or a state robs their people, but nothing is worse than when they combine their forces to rob us. We have seen the ugly and abusive head of this beast before, and it is not pretty. This is just another reason those times are referred to as the dark ages.

Quoted article below from link above. My comments in blue.

QuotePope Francis Claims that the Two Great Crises of our Time are "the Deterioration of our Common Home and Mass Immigration"

Vatican News released a statement from Pope Francis on February 13, 2024. The statement was written in the introduction to a book that Roman Catholic author and journalist Austen Ivereigh had written. In it, the Pope outlined what he called the two most pressing issues facing the world. The first, according to the Pope, has to do with our common home. This highlights the need for an ecological conversion and the connection between humans and the environment, and it is related to Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Si'. The second has to do with the Catholicization of America through a well-planned invasion of Roman Catholics through mass migration.

The Pope's statement that Vatican News published is as follows:

• "As Pope, I have wanted to encourage our belonging 'first' to God, and then to creation and to our fellow human beings, especially to those who cry out to us. This is why I have wanted to keep in view the two great crises of our age: the deterioration of our common home and the mass migration and displacement of people. Both are symptoms of the 'crisis of non-belonging' described in these pages. For the same reason I have wanted to encourage the Church to rediscover the gift of its own tradition of synodality, for when it opens to the Spirit that speaks in the People of God, the whole Church gets up and walks ahead, praising God and helping to bring about his Kingdom."

Pope Francis has called on people to welcome and stand in solidarity with migrants and refugees in a number of speeches over the years. He has also called on governments and communities to break down the barriers and remove the restrictions on the movement of people between borders. This has prophetic implications because the Bible states:

"And the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over." Daniel 11:40.

This passage speaks of invasion, of overflow, and of passing over into the territories of another country. Many Seventh-day Adventists interpret the King of the North as applying to the papacy. If true, then her armies will be invading certain key nations during the last days in an effort to help set the stage for Rome's final conquest.

Record numbers of people are coming into the United States through the southern border. It is a Catholic procession coming from heavily Roman Catholic countries in Latin America. Most importantly, and quite possibly prophetically, this migrant invasion has the support and sympathy of Pope Francis.

Pope Francis also claims that the deterioration of our "common home" is the other greatest crisis of our time. What, then, is his solution for the common home? Well, the Pope wrote an entire encyclical titled "Laudato Si' of the Holy Father On Care for Our Common Home." The words "common home" are part of the official title of the Laudato Si' document, indicating that his encyclical is the answer.

Furthermore, Pope Francis' climate encyclical does not just show concern for the environment; it is a call to take concrete steps and urge the world to undergo a "global ecological conversion" (Laudato Si' #5).  Along with calling for the adoption of Sunday as the day of rest (Laudato Si' #237), Laudato Si' also calls for the establishment of a single "world political authority" with the power to impose changes (Laudato Si' #175).

The truth is that Pope Francis is gravely misinformed. The biggest crisis facing our world is not immigration or sustainability. He is the biggest problem. The union of church and state will bring about the greatest crisis. Our greatest threats are papal supremacy and the globalism of the New World Order that the Pope is trying to establish. This is what inspiration reveals to be the "most dangerous foe" in the world today:

"Men are closing their eyes to the real character of Romanism, and the dangers to be apprehended from her supremacy. The people need to be aroused to resist the advances of this most dangerous foe to civil and religious liberty" (Great Controversy, p. 566).

The following quote is from the book FACTS OF FAITH by Christian Edwardson, Southern Publishing Association 1942

A MESSAGE FOR OUR TIMES

205

We shall here refer to one other similar denial. In the Roman Catholic paper, Shepherd of the Valley, there appeared an article by the editor, in which he stated: "If Catholics ever attain, which they surely will, though at a distant day, the immense numerical majority in the United States, religious liberty, as at present understood, will be at an end." A Protestant lecturer, who made use of this quotation, was bitterly arraigned in a double-column front-page article in the Catholic Standard and Times for his false statements regarding Catholics; for, it pointed out, if he had finished the quotation with the words which followed, "so say our enemies," it would have reversed its meaning. The incident would have passed off at the expense of the Protestant lecturer, had not the Western Watchman of July 24, 1913, continued the quotation still further, declaring:

"The whole quotation should read: 'If Catholics ever attain, which they surely will, though at a distant day, the immense numerical majority in the United States, religious liberty, as at present understood, will be at an end. So say our enemies; so say we.' "- Quoted in "Protestant Magazine," October, 1913, p. 474. Why those who tried to deny their former statements should leave out the words, "so say we," is very evident. But what can we think of those who publicly deny facts to screen their church from unfavorable public opinions, unless they act from the motive that "the end justifies the means," and that "heretics" have no moral right to facts which they would misuse.

QuoteBiden secretly dumped 320,000 'inadmissible' illegal immigrants into US cities

Efforts by open-border Democrats to blame the growing big-city migrant crisis on Texas and its program of busing illegal immigrants north are being upstaged by a new investigation showing that President Joe Biden has secretly flown hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants from Latin American airports to 43 U.S. cities.

The unusual program, kept from the public, involved at least 320,000 illegal immigrants the administration admits are "inadmissible" immigrants, far more than previously reported.

Despite facing a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit from the Center for Immigration Studies, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection has refused to identify the 43 airports it is dumping immigrants at after direct flights from Latin America.

"While large immigrant-receiving cities and media lay blame for the influx on Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott's busing program, CBP has withheld from the Center — and apparently will not disclose — the names of the 43 U.S. airports that have received 320,000 inadmissible aliens from January through December 2023, nor the foreign airports from which they departed," a CIS report shared with Secrets said.

New in its investigation is the administration's claims it is keeping the cities secret because it is concerned "bad actors" might "undermine law enforcement efforts to 'secure the United States border' if they knew the volume of CBP One traffic processed at each port of entry," the center said, citing an email it received.

The program at issue is Biden's scheme of letting illegal immigrants use an app to gain access to the U.S. without having to travel through Mexico.

"The program at the center of the FOIA litigation is perhaps the most enigmatic and least-known of the Biden administration's uses of the CBP One cellphone scheduling app, even though it is responsible for almost invisibly importing by air 320,000 aliens with no legal right to enter the United States since it got underway in late 2022," said Todd Bensman, the report's author.

"Under these legally dubious parole programs, aliens who cannot legally enter the country use the CBP One app to apply for travel authorization and temporary humanitarian release from those airports. The parole program allows for two-year periods of legal status during which adults are eligible for work authorization," he wrote.

"Upon receiving authorization from Washington, they buy air passage to U.S. international airports where CBP personnel process them for release in short order. All are said to be responsible for paying for their own airfare," Bensman explained. That can be thousands of dollars less and less dangerous than traveling through Mexico to the California, Arizona, or Texas border.

The direct flight program is in addition to another one that gives CBP One users a green light into the U.S. That program, the report said, "has brought in another 420,000 immigrants from nearly 100 nations from May 2021 through December 2023."

On and on and on it goes. Now in the UK where people are getting tired of mass illegal immigration and a two tier justice system in relation to the same. All over Europe and the US citizens are sick and tired of facilitated mass illegal immigration, and the implicit traitorous back stabbing politicians approving of and aiding and abetting all of the same.

Why are supposed elected politicians all over the "free world" ignoring their citizens and obviously listening to someone else concerning mass migration? Who are these numerous treasonous politicians listening to over and above their won people whom they are supposed to represent? Why are these traitors, listening to unelected, self appointed, self important, elitist tyrants, over and above the sovereign peoples of their supposed sovereign nations? Just how and when did the Pope, and Vatican, and EU take over control of all of these nations?

This now to the point that all sovereign citizens who would stand up against the mandates of these unelected self imposing tyrants, are now considered terrorists within their own nations and internationally. What is this but to say, that all who will stand up to and or against the politics of the Pope, Vatican, and EU are all now radical right wing terrorists. Just as the scriptures predicted, all nations and kings of the earth are drinking the wine of Babylon.

Rev 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

Rev 18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. 4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

QuoteUK's new Prime Minister Keir Starmer moves toward digital tyranny in response to civil unrest

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced an expansion of facial recognition technology and online censorship in response to widespread civil unrest following the murder of three girls by the 17-year-old son of Rwandan immigrants.

Four weeks later, the nation is wracked by violent disorder following the murder of three girls by the son of Rwandan immigrants.

Three girls aged six, seven, and nine were stabbed to death by Axel Muganwa Rudakubana on Monday, July 29. He is charged with their murder and with the attempted murder of eight further girls aged between five and 10 years old, along with that of two adults – all seriously injured in his attack on a dance class in Hart Street, Southport.

Rudakubana, who took a taxi to kill the children, has been described as a "quiet choir boy" and was formerly featured in a BBC charity video in support of "Children in Need." Mainstream media described him as a "boy from Cardiff." Later reports of his "ferocious attack" confirmed he had been born in the Welsh capital to Rwandan parents.

With nothing said about the decades of open borders which has seen eight million migrants arrive in Britain since 2001, the British state has used the crisis it has created to move towards digital tyranny.

In a statement broadcasted on August 1, Starmer blamed a "tiny mindless minority" for the furious disorder sparked by the killings. He vowed to introduce a "national capability" of mass surveillance in response, whilst threatening censorship and prosecution of social media companies.

"The actions of a tiny, mindless minority in our society," Starmer said, will see him "establish a national capability, across police forces ... shared intelligence ... wider deployment of facial recognition technology."

As Starmer announced a new police unit to crack down on violent disorder, an adviser to the U.K. government has demanded the introduction of "COVID-style" lockdowns to suppress nationwide fury over the lawlessness created by mass migration and a regime openly hostile to those who have to inhabit its consequences.

The term "anarcho-tyranny" is applied to a system of government which terrorizes its own populations with disorder in order to justify crackdowns to increase its own power.

This term seems to fit the picture of Starmer's Britain today.

'Mass surveillance threatens democracy'

Big Brother Watch has warned that the expanded use of facial recognition "threatens rather than protects democracy," as it "turns the public into walking ID cards." In a press release, the group – which campaigns against creeping technological authoritarianism as exampled in the dystopian novel 1984 – said in a press release on August 1:

The Prime Minister's alarming pledge today to roll out facial recognition in an apparent response to recent disorder is a pledge to plunder more vital police resources on mass surveillance that threatens rather than protects democracy.

Big Brother Watch's Silkie Carlo explained the technology is banned in Europe – and may itself be illegal in the U.K.:

This AI surveillance turns members of the public into walking ID cards, is dangerously inaccurate and has no explicit legal basis in the UK. Whilst common in Russia and China, live facial recognition is banned in Europe.

Starmer repeated his threat on Sunday, August 4, to crack down on "far-right thugs," saying "the full force of the law" would be applied those involved – whether online or in person – in the disturbances sparked by the horrific murders, and enabled by years of liberal globalist government policy.

Media reports have blamed "online misinformation" for fueling the violent disorder which has followed the appalling mass killing of English children. Yet critics have also pointed out that Starmer refused to mention the "causes of crime."

In one of two questions, a U.K. reporter gently suggested that government policy and the outrageous murder itself may explain the "motive" behind nationwide civil unrest. Starmer replied, "It doesn't matter."

Starmer vowed instead to "protect Muslims ... and those attacked for their skin color and their faith" as he erased any context except racism for the motives of the outraged.

"This is not [a] protest," he said. "It is organized violent thuggery, and it has no place on our streets or online."

Strongly condemning attacks on "places of worship," he said nothing of the 150 churches which have been burned down in the U.K. between 2017 and 2022. Disgusted by the "violence ... of far-right thugs," he has recently promised three billion pounds per year to Ukraine, and he stated in October 2023 that Israel "has the right" cut off food and water supplies to Gaza in its ongoing genocide. He denied saying this later, despite being recorded doing so.

So far, his government has not suspended arms sales to Israel.

As one concerned citizen pointed out on X, the state denouncing violence against itself has "made up a virus, injected people with poison, divided societies ... destroyed the economy whilst simultaneously robbing it," saying that these are "the same people who are ... allowing your country to be invaded & are trying their hardest to start World War Three."

By contrast, Starmer's no-context remarks erase the past and present actions of the liberal globalist order he represents.

Starmer: healing the nation?

Starmer, who became prime minister four weeks ago, has stated his preference "for Davos" over Westminster in the past, clearly signaling his preference for the globalist order over the national sovereignty and democracy of the British Parliament.

Record low turnout in the July 4 general election saw the Labour Party win a massive majority with over 400 seats – on the smallest number of votes it has won in 84 years.

In his first speech as prime minister on July 5, Starmer promised to end the "chaos" in Britain and assured the nation his government would rebuild public trust by its actions – not its words

This lack of trust can only be healed by actions, not words. I know that. ... Whether you voted Labour or not, in fact, especially if you did not, I say to you directly: my government will serve you. Politics can be a force for good. We will show that. ... Because no matter how fierce the storms of history [are], one of the great strengths of this nation has always been our ability to navigate away to calmer waters.

Starmer has made two public addresses in the aftermath of the mass killing of children by the son of Rwandan immigrants. The outrage follows weeks of reports of migrant crime, following decades of the organized rape of British children "on an industrial scale" by immigrant "grooming gangs."

In 2015, Labour MP for Rotherham Sarah Champion said up to one million children had been raped by largely immigrant sex gangs. The latest report from January 2024 on the nationwide scandal says children have been "left at the mercy" of rapists, who are roaming free.

Starmer's approval ratings have plummeted, with many saying he has added fuel to the fire. Starmer repeated his charge that "far-right racist thugs" are the problem, vowing to protect immigrants from the British people outraged at the crime wave fueled by mass migration driven by globalist wars.

Starmer is an activist lawyer, like Tony Blair before him. He is joined in his agenda by at least one more activist lawyer, who is suggesting Nigel Farage's Reform Party be thrown out of Parliament on the same charges of far-right extremism.

Farage has said Starmer "hasn't got a clue," as attacks on the Reform leader rise in the press. Reform won over four million votes to return five members of Parliament, all of whom may now face expulsion for the charge of "giving legitimacy to violent protesters."

British deep state intelligence asset Paul Mason has called for all media to be shut down which disagrees with the liberal globalist agenda he serves.

Starmer sets the nation ablaze

Fair Cop, a campaign group seeking to "remove politics from policing," has joined many critics in saying Starmer's words had turned a tragedy into a national crisis.

"Last week, Starmer set the nation on fire."

'Two-tier Keir'

The group reposted a statement from the U.K.'s most senior civilian police commissioner. Now withdrawn due to suspected government pressure under Starmer's information crackdown, it accused the prime minister of pursuing a "two-tier" policing policy, with "the full force of the law" thrown at "far-right" protesters – but not at the armed and masked migrants and Muslims seen roaming Britain's streets.

Starmer said on Sunday, "To those who feel targeted because of the colour of your skin ... or your faith ... I know how frightening this must be."

Videos have circulated showing police standing by as mobs attack white British protesters, then leave a man critically injured. The police did not pursue the attackers.

"I think he's dead."

After this attack, police politely requested the same mob to leave their weapons at the mosque.

One Sky News report on "violent far-right riots" saw an armed masked gang of men of migrant background pass by, with no police in sight.

Even the BBC reported on the violence used by immigrant mobs against police and "pro-British demonstrators."

Rebellion against mass migration?

Donna Jones, police and crime commissioner for Hampshire, was quoted in local news as saying the government was refusing to admit that "mass uncontrolled immigration" was fuelling the same "rebellion that has played out across France". Jones explained that the protestors, whose violence she condemned, did indeed have motives which mattered. Her public statement was taken down after attracting widespread support – and criticism – from each side of the divide. She said:

Whilst the devastating attacks in Southport on Tuesday were a catalyst, the commonality amongst the protest groups appears to be focused on three key areas; the desire to protect Britain's sovereignty; the need to uphold British values and in order to do this, stop illegal immigration.

She warned of the public mood, comparing it to that of France, which has seen widespread rioting and police and former generals warning of civil war.

The growth of feeling across the country has mirrored (to a lesser extent) the rebellion to illegal immigration that has played out across France over the last 12 months.

Jones said the Government is not addressing the cause but the symptoms of the problem – which has been caused by the liberal globalist policies of three decades of successive Labour and Conservative governments.

The Government must acknowledge what is causing this civil unrest in order to prevent it.

Arresting people, or creating violent disorder units, is treating the symptom and not the cause.

Reflecting the fact that every U.K. government elected since 1993 has promised to bring down immigration, she said this was the question which remains unanswered.

The questions these people want answering; what is the Government's solution to mass uncontrolled immigration?

She complained that in an extraordinary move, neither she nor any of the U.K.'s community-elected crime commissioners had been invited to government meetings to shape the response to this mounting national crisis. She now faces calls to resign. Fair Cop greeted the news of the removal of her statement with a simple message:

Welcome to Keir Starmer's police state.

Culture of silence

One reason for Starmer's silence on the causes of this crime against the British nation is his own complicity in it. In 2003, Starmer was the lawyer who acted to secure the automatic right to free money, food, and hotel accommodation for a group of illegal migrants. Twenty-one years on, an estimated seven million immigrants have arrived in Britain. With migration levels rocketing, the U.K. population is projected to rise to almost 80 million by 2046, adding 16 million in the next 20 years – largely due to immigration.

Astonishingly, Starmer used his second address to the nation to say "people in this country have a right to be safe," as the nation is wracked by fury at the fact their children can be killed at any time in the chaos he has helped to create.

As he said the motive behind public anger "doesn't matter," Starmer said "the motivation for vast majority of the people in this country is to see their streets safe."

Whilst Starmer can see no motive beyond "racist ... far-right thuggery," Tony Blair himself has warned of the danger of failing to address the crisis caused by mass migration.

Rachel Reeves, Starmer's Chancellor of the Exchequer, warned in 2016 that "riots could sweep Britain if immigration is not curbed" – a surmise marked by its absence from the Labour government's move to designate the victims of crime as the enemy of the state. It is a move towards the digital identities Blair himself has promoted as recently as last week. The move will require the "a little persuading" of the public, Blair claimed last month, as he touted digital IDs as a means of managing mass migration.

"We should move as the world is moving to digital ID," he said at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change conference, saying digital ID was a way to "control immigration."

The plan appears to replace not only the population, but democracy itself – with a transition to AI-driven digital governance powered by the liberal globalist algorithm.

In response to Starmer's divisive digital tyranny, thousands of ordinary Britons have identified themselves as "far-right thugs." The polarizing statements of the prime minister have united ordinary people against them, which ignore their outrage over the danger to the public presented by uncontrolled mass migration.

Former police and armed forces members, parents and grandparents are among those embracing the label under #FarRightThugsUnite.

One "far-right" black man notes the contrast between Starmer's response to the Black Lives Matter riots and the protests by British people.

In an historic moment of sectarian unity, Irish Nationalists and Ulster British Nationalists have united to fight back against the chaos of mass migration. 500 years of sectarian division in Northern Ireland made the unity of Irish people an impossible dream. Until now.

Globalist 'democracy'

The demand to lower immigration has been made for 30 years through the electoral process, as the liberal globalist consensus has pursued its own agenda regardless of the will of its electorate. Democracy has denied the British people a voice for decades.

Starmer has divided the nation, vowing to use the law to prosecute those who complain of the living hell these globalist policies have made of their lives. His strategy of digital surveillance and censorship reflects the last resort of liberal globalism, which has taken similar measures across the U.S. and Europe. These governments cannot fix the problem, because their policies have created the problem.

Liberal globalists are the problem, and they are using the name of the law to criminalize and silence anyone who disagrees with them, in words or in action. This is the last resort of the liberal order – and it is deeply illiberal to imprison your political enemies.

The enemy of the liberal globalist order are their own populations, and this order is now creating chaos in the name of the law to justify a permanent digital tyranny. It is fighting for its life against those of its own people.

It is hard to see how any words or actions from Keir Starmer can restore order to a Britain broken by globalist regime change. How far wrong can he be? So far, there is plenty of force promised by Keir Starmer's government, but none of it for good.

QuoteWe'll work with you for the Common Good, Cardinal Nichols tells Starmer after Labour landslide

After the Labour Party won a landslide victory in the General Election, bringing to an end 14 years of Conservative rule, Catholic groups have called on Sir Keir Starmer to unite the nation and support the weakest members of society.

In a historic night, Labour was forecast to win a total 410 seats in a spectacular turn around from the 2019 election, when the Conservatives won a landslide victory with a majority of 80 seats under Boris Johnson. However, the party won only 35 per cent of the popular vote, with the Tories collapsing to 24 per cent – 21 per cent down on 2019.

Celebrating the victory, Sir Keir Starmer told his supporters: "Thank you truly – you have changed our country", but adding "a mandate like this comes with a great responsibility". He added that the task of a Labour Government is "nothing less than renewing the ideas that hold our country together".

"We have to return politics to public service and show it can be a force for good," he said. "That change begins now". However, he said that Britain woke up this morning "believing a weight has been lifted from the shoulders of this nation. Together, we can walk into the morning and the sunlight of hope, pale at first, getting stronger throughout the day, as we look to get our future back."

As Starmer surveys the new political landscape, Catholic groups are hoping that the new Government will bring unity and healing to the UK, after many years of austerity and division, which included the 2016 Brexit vote, a large turnover of Prime Ministers and an increasingly toxic atmosphere at Westminster.

Acknowledging that "the history of the Labour Party owes a huge debt to the Christian tradition", Sir Keir Starmer shared his hopes of working alongside the Bishops' Conference and other faith groups, insisting that "there will be no national renewal without the active participation of the Church." He also pointed to the party's policy of caring for the vulnerable and supporting those on the margins as Labour's shared values with Christians.

Cardinal Vincent Nichols wrote to the new Prime Minister to offer his congratulations and assure him of his prayers. The Cardinal confirmed that the Catholic Church stands ready to work with the government in matters of education and other areas that serve the common good. "The Catholic Church has a long record of partnership with the UK Government, not least in the area of education where we run over two thousand schools in conjunction with the state. We look forward to this continuing and to working constructively in this and other areas with you, your ministers, and officials," the Cardinal said.

"Your previous comments about wanting a government which works with churches and faith communities have been most welcome, and I want you to know that we stand ready to play our part."

Catholic social justice charity JRS UK told the Universe that Starmer must build a 'politics of humanity' and to make the UK a place of welcome, while the SVP urged the new Government to 'root out poverty'. The Catholic Union told the Universe that it 'looks forward to working with the new administration'.

JRS UK is urging Starmer to put his words into action with regards to a new asylum policy, and to 'restore the right to asylum, end immigration detention, and put an end to the hostile environment that weaponises human suffering as a means of immigration.'

However, the sizeable Labour majority has alarmed some Catholic groups who fear a raft of pro-abortion and anti-life policies. Spokesperson for Right To Life UK, Catherine Robinson, told the Universe that she is expecting "attempts to allow abortion up to birth" in the new Government.

A prime example of how easily the Church of Rome slides from one side of the political isle to the other with such ease. Cooperating with whoever is in power, unto the legal establishment of Roman Catholic Social Justice agendas, with which each party might agree with her upon. So that in the end, regardless of which party is in control, the political power of the Church of Rome increases until their ultimate goal is realized. World domination.

Quote

UNAM SANCTAM

Bull of Pope Boniface VIII promulgated November 18, 1302
Urged by faith, we are obliged to believe and to maintain that the Church is one, holy, catholic, and also apostolic. We believe in her firmly and we confess with simplicity that outside of her there is neither salvation nor the remission of sins, as the Spouse in the Canticles [Sgs 6:8] proclaims: 'One is my dove, my perfect one. She is the only one, the chosen of her who bore her,' and she represents one sole mystical body whose Head is Christ and the head of Christ is God [1 Cor 11:3]. In her then is one Lord, one faith, one baptism [Eph 4:5]. There had been at the time of the deluge only one ark of Noah, prefiguring the one Church, which ark, having been finished to a single cubit, had only one pilot and guide, i.e., Noah, and we read that, outside of this ark, all that subsisted on the earth was destroyed.
 
We venerate this Church as one, the Lord having said by the mouth of the prophet: 'Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword and my only one from the hand of the dog.' [Ps 21:20] He has prayed for his soul, that is for himself, heart and body; and this body, that is to say, the Church, He has called one because of the unity of the Spouse, of the faith, of the sacraments, and of the charity of the Church. This is the tunic of the Lord, the seamless tunic, which was not rent but which was cast by lot [Jn 19:23- 24]. Therefore, of the one and only Church there is one body and one head, not two heads like a monster; that is, Christ and the Vicar of Christ, Peter and the successor of Peter, since the Lord speaking to Peter Himself said: 'Feed my sheep' [Jn 21:17], meaning, my sheep in general, not these, nor those in particular, whence we understand that He entrusted all to him [Peter]. Therefore, if the Greeks or others should say that they are not confided to Peter and to his successors, they must confess not being the sheep of Christ, since Our Lord says in John 'there is one sheepfold and one shepherd.' We are informed by the texts of the gospels that in this Church and in its power are two swords; namely, the spiritual and the temporal. For when the Apostles say: 'Behold, here are two swords' [Lk 22:38] that is to say, in the Church, since the Apostles were speaking, the Lord did not reply that there were too many, but sufficient. Certainly the one who denies that the temporal sword is in the power of Peter has not listened well to the word of the Lord commanding: 'Put up thy sword into thy scabbard' [Mt 26:52]. Both, therefore, are in the power of the Church, that is to say, the spiritual and the material sword, but the former is to be administered for the Church but the latter by the Church; the former in the hands of the priest; the latter by the hands of kings and soldiers, but at the will and sufferance of the priest.
 
However, one sword ought to be subordinated to the other and temporal authority, subjected to spiritual power. For since the Apostle said: 'There is no power except from God and the things that are, are ordained of God' [Rom 13:1-2], but they would not be ordained if one sword were not subordinated to the other and if the inferior one, as it were, were not led upwards by the other.
 
For, according to the Blessed Dionysius, it is a law of the divinity that the lowest things reach the highest place by intermediaries. Then, according to the order of the universe, all things are not led back to order equally and immediately, but the lowest by the intermediary, and the inferior by the superior. Hence we must recognize the more clearly that spiritual power surpasses in dignity and in nobility any temporal power whatever, as spiritual things surpass the temporal. This we see very clearly also by the payment, benediction, and consecration of the tithes, but the acceptance of power itself and by the government even of things. For with truth as our witness, it belongs to spiritual power to establish the terrestrial power and to pass judgement if it has not been good. Thus is accomplished the prophecy of Jeremias concerning the Church and the ecclesiastical power: 'Behold to-day I have placed you over nations, and over kingdoms' and the rest. Therefore, if the terrestrial power err, it will be judged by the spiritual power; but if a minor spiritual power err, it will be judged by a superior spiritual power; but if the highest power of all err, it can be judged only by God, and not by man, according to the testimony of the Apostle: 'The spiritual man judgeth of all things and he himself is judged by no man' [1 Cor 2:15]. This authority, however, (though it has been given to man and is exercised by man), is not human but rather divine, granted to Peter by a divine word and reaffirmed to him (Peter) and his successors by the One Whom Peter confessed, the Lord saying to Peter himself, 'Whatsoever you shall bind on earth, shall be bound also in Heaven' etc., [Mt 16:19]. Therefore whoever resists this power thus ordained by God, resists the ordinance of God [Rom 13:2], unless he invent like Manicheus two beginnings, which is false and judged by us heretical, since according to the testimony of Moses, it is not in the beginnings but in the beginning that God created heaven and earth [Gen 1:1]. Furthermore, we declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff.

QuotePromoting Globalism Through Illegal Immigration

Why the Vatican and America's bishops support open borders.

Months before officials in New York City allowed migrants to displace students in public schools, or officials in Chicago turned O'Hare International Airport into a refugee center, the former general counsel for the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services made a frightening prediction about illegal immigration.

"This is going to be a catastrophe for our health-care system, our criminal justice system, our educational system," Elizabeth Yore said in December. "We're not going to recognize our society in two years. The crime and the chaos in the schools is going to be unimaginable. We are going to be paying for this for decades, generations."

The fact that Yore, a conservative Catholic, made that criticism holds more than casual significance — especially since the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops effectively supports open borders.

As FrontPage Magazine twice reported, the USCCB uses taxpayer dollars to fund its human trafficking campaign, thereby enriching that body. But the payment it exacts for exploiting poor Latin American migrants exceeds the monetary.

The bishops use immigration as a weapon to implement Pope Francis' globalist vision, which demands the eradication of national identity and legitimate national self-interest. That explains the bishops' vehement opposition to President Donald Trump and their failure to forge a united front against Joe Biden, one of Francis' favorites.

It also explains the bishops' breathtaking silence on such crimes as child trafficking, sex trafficking and drug trafficking, and the prelates' refusal to defend innocent Americans of all ethnicities against crimes perpetrated by illegal immigrants — including murder, as the "Angel Families" can attest.

Finally, it explains the bishops' opposition to controlling illegal immigration through such means as "a tripling of Border Patrol agents, especially at ports of entry, and the use of sophisticated technology such as ground sensors, surveillance cameras, heat-detecting scopes, and reinforced fencing," as a joint pastoral letter from American and Mexican bishops stated in 2003.

"That such measures might, in fact, deter or detect individuals trafficking children, the bishops ignored," Marjorie Murphy Campbell, a Catholic lawyer, wrote for The Christian Review, a website founded by the former publisher of a conservative Catholic magazine, Crisis.

But Francis is no outlier. His globalist agenda reflects six decades of papal policy, as FrontPage Magazine often reported. Starting with the Second Vatican Council, which lasted from 1962-65, Catholic leaders began advocating radically egalitarian and utopian solutions to besetting world problems. Implementing those solutions demanded globalist reorganization, preferably under one supranational body that would hold nations accountable.

Encyclicals from Popes John XXIII, Paul VI and Benedict XVI refined that policy. In 1963, John, who convened the council, used his encyclical Pacem in Terris to advocate creating an international "public authority with power, organization and means" that operates in "a world-wide sphere of activity" to devise and impose policy, he wrote. "Consequently, the moral order itself demands the establishment of some such general form of public authority."

In 1967, Pope Paul VI reinforced that appeal in his encyclical, Populorum Progressio.

"Such international collaboration among the nations of the world certainly calls for institutions that will promote, coordinate and direct it, until a new juridical order is firmly established and fully ratified," Paul wrote before quoting his own address to the United Nations. "'Who can fail to see the need and importance of thus gradually coming to the establishment of a world authority capable of taking effective action on the juridical and political planes?'"

In 2009, Benedict offered the most detailed approach, as FrontPage reported upon his death. In Caritas in Veritate, he advocated replacing the UN with "a true world political authority" to secure "the common good" by regulating national economies, diplomacy and international law. It would have power "to ensure compliance with its decisions from all parties," he wrote, "so that the concept of the family of nations can acquire real teeth."

Such an agency, Benedict continued, would "manage the global economy to bring about integral and timely disarmament, food security and peace; to guarantee the protection of the environment and to regulate migration." Protecting the environment would involve "a worldwide redistribution of energy resources." (Emphasis added)

Francis built on that foundation with two encyclicals of his own: Laudato Si on environmental sustainability and Fratelli Tutti on economic redistribution. In 2019, Francis expressed the papal commitment to globalism when the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences met:

Quote"The nation-state cannot be considered as an absolute. In the current situation of globalization, the nation-state is no longer able to procure on its own the common good of its populations. The common good has become global and nations must affiliate themselves for their own benefit. When a supranatural common good is clearly identified, it necessitates a specific, legally and concordantly constituted authority capable of facilitating its fulfillment." (Emphasis added)

In March 2021, during an interview to promote his book, God and the World to Come, Francis said that a "new world order" must emerge from the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic:

"Let us all keep in mind that there is something worse than this crisis: the drama of wasting it. Instead, we can heal injustice by building a new world order based on solidarity, studying innovative methods to eradicate bullying, poverty and corruption, all working together, each for their own part, without delegating and passing the buck." (Emphasis added)

That November, Francis reiterated that call to the Paris Peace Forum:

Quote"Faced with the consequences of the great storm that has shaken the world, our conscience therefore calls us ... not to follow the easy path of returning to a 'normality' marked by injustice, but to accept the challenge of assuming the crisis as 'a concrete opportunity for conversion, transformation, to rethink our lifestyle and our economic and social systems.' "

Unfettered immigration serves the globalist agenda by eroding national law, identity and culture. Europe provides the prime example. Francis encourages millions of Middle Eastern Muslims to migrate there, regardless of problems concerning assimilation, yet never encourages them to become Christians.

As Francis' apostolic representatives in the United States, the bishops engage in two tactics to promote his interests.

Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Gomez represents the velvet glove. Gomez, born in Mexico, addressed the Catholic Napa Institute in 2011, the year he became archbishop, on immigration's role in American culture.

After acknowledging and praising the pivotal role Calvinist immigrants to New England and the Founding Fathers played in forging the nation's identity, Gomez directed attention to Spanish colonization in Florida and California.

"It is the story not of colonial settlement and political and economic opportunity," Gomez said. "It is the story of exploration and evangelization. This story is not Anglo-Protestant but Hispanic-Catholic. It is centered, not in New England but in Nueva España — New Spain — at opposite corners of the continent."

By forgetting "our country's roots in the Hispanic-Catholic mission to the new world," Gomez continued, "we end up with an idea that Americans are descended from only white Europeans and that our culture is based only on the individualism, work ethic and rule of law that we inherited from our Anglo-Protestant forebears."

Gomez then disregards the rule of law by ignoring the illegal status of many immigrants and focusing on their potential.

"These immigrants — no matter how they came here — are people of energy and aspiration," he said. "This is why I believe our immigrant brothers and sisters are the key to American renewal. And we all know that America is in need of renewal — economic and political, but also spiritual, moral and cultural renewal. I believe these men and women who are coming to this country will bring a new, youthful entrepreneurial spirit of hard work to our economy. I also believe they will help renew the soul of America." (Emphasis added)

Catholics, of course, have their own pivotal role to play.

"Catholics need to lead our country to a new spirit of empathy," Gomez said. "We need to help our brothers and sisters to start seeing the strangers among us for who they truly are — and not according to political or ideological categories or definitions rooted in our own fears."

The second tactic is the iron fist, which San Diego Cardinal Robert McElroy represents. In 2017, while still a bishop, McElroy encouraged his audience to act as "disruptors" by encouraging disobedience to immigration law.

"We must disrupt those who would seek to send troops into our streets to deport the undocumented, to rip mothers and fathers from their families," he said. "We must disrupt those who portray refugees as enemies, rather than our brothers and sisters in terrible need."

McElroy's inflammatory rhetoric not only imitates the "resistance" narrative Trump's enemies embraced. It silently equates American immigration authorities to Gestapo agents seeking Jews.

In August 2022, McElroy received his reward when Francis made him a cardinal.

But rhetoric means nothing without action. As FrontPage reported, an investigation from the Heritage Foundation discovered that Catholic Charities linked almost 3,400 separate mobile phones to anonymous contacts in 433 of the nation's 435 Congressional districts. The investigation also traced 22,000 cell phones from all NGOs to 431 districts.

"Of the 52 congressional districts with the highest density of devices," the foundation reported, "71 percent were Republican congressional districts."

By supporting and profiting from illegal immigration, the bishops not only have declared war against their countrymen. By trying to implement Francis' agenda, the bishops essentially act as agents of a hostile foreign government.

Maureen Mullarkey, a conservative Catholic commentator, powerfully summarized the significance of their position.

"By admonishing voters to 'humanize globalization,' the bishops position themselves in the vanguard of a globalist world freed from competing national aims and interests," she wrote. "To a clerical elite impatient for the withering away of the national state, an open border is the staging ground for assault on citizenship and national sovereignty."

Not for nothing does Mullarkey call the USCCB "a fifth column in cope and chasuble."

QuotePope Francis: An encounter with a migrant is an encounter with Christ

In his message for the World Day of Migrants and Refugees, Pope Francis invites us to see migrations as a sign of the times and as a symbol of the Church's pilgrimage throughout history.

"See in the migrants of our time, as in those of every age, a living image of God's people on their way to the eternal homeland," writes Pope Francis in his 2024 Message for the 110th World Day of Migrants and Refugees.

The World Day, celebrated annually on 24 September, is a call to believers to show support and closeness to the millions of men, women and children who are forced to leave their homes. The current global estimate is that there were around 281 million international migrants in the world in 2020, which equates to 3.6 per cent of the global population, and that number continues to rise.

Pointing out that God not only walks with His people, but also within them, the Pope invites us all to walk in a "synodal" way - in the Church and in the world - in order to move forward on our own pilgrimage toward the heavenly homeland.

God walks with his people

The message's title, "God walks with His people," immediately points to the synodal dimension the Pope constantly invites the Church and the people of God to live every day and in every moment.

Recalling the introduction to the synthesis report released at the conclusion of the First Session of the XVI Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops on Synodality last October, the Pope writes, "Synodality is mainly presented as a joint journey of the People of God" that allows the Church "to rediscover its itinerant nature, as the People of God journeying through history on pilgrimage, 'migrating', we could say, toward the Kingdom of Heaven."

Thus, as he so often does, the Pope calls us to recognize the Lord present in the millions of people who are forced to migrate due to conflict, persecution, poverty, and the climate crisis, "as a living image of God's people on their way to the eternal homeland."

Journeys of hope

"Their journeys of hope remind us that 'our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ'," he says.

Recalling images of the biblical exodus, he notes it shares many similarities with the plight of migrants: "Like the people of Israel in the time of Moses, migrants often flee from oppression, abuse, insecurity, discrimination, and lack of opportunities for development. Similar to the Jews in the desert, migrants encounter many obstacles in their path: they are tried by thirst and hunger; they are exhausted by toil and disease; they are tempted by despair."

And God, he reminds us, "not only walks with His people, but also within them, (...) particularly with the least, the poor and the marginalized. In this, we see an extension of the mystery of the Incarnation."

From tent to tent

Pope Francis points out that "the fundamental reality of the Exodus, of every exodus, is that God precedes and accompanies His people and all His children in every time and place."

Thus, he adds, "God's presence in the midst of the people is a certainty of salvation history: "The Lord your God goes with you; He will not fail you or forsake you".

Referring, yet again, to biblical texts, the Holy Father recalls that in the Law that God gave Moses, He provided instructions to build a "tent" as a place of worship that could be moved each time they changed location.

This he says, makes God's closeness tangible at all times. "The tent is a form of presence especially dear to the Lord," he said, noting that "during David's reign, God chose to dwell in a tent, not a temple, so that He could walk with His people, 'from tent to tent and from dwelling to dwelling'.

Travelling companion

Many migrants, the Pope continues, "experience God as their travelling companion, guide and anchor of salvation."

He notes they  "entrust themselves to Him before setting out and seek Him in times of need. In Him, they find consolation in moments of discouragement."

Quote"How many Bibles, copies of the Gospels, prayer books, and rosaries accompany migrants on their journeys across deserts, rivers, seas, and the borders of every continent!"

An encounter with Christ

Pope Francis reiterates his call to us to open our hearts and doors to our brothers and sisters on the move, reminding us that "the encounter with the migrant, as with every brother and sister in need, is also an encounter with Christ."

Christ Himself has said so many times, he noted, and the Scriptures are full of references to this reality. Recalling the 2019 Message for the World Day of the Poor, the Pope says: "Every encounter along the way represents an opportunity to meet the Lord; it is an occasion charged with salvation, because Jesus is present in the sister or brother in need of our help.  In this sense, the poor save us, because they enable us to encounter the face of the Lord."

Pope Francis concludes his Message with a prayer:

God, Almighty Father,
we are Your pilgrim Church
journeying towards the Kingdom of heaven.
but as if we were foreigners.
Every foreign place is our home,
yet every native land is foreign to us.
Though we live on earth,
our true citizenship is in heaven.
Do not let us become possessive
of the portion of the world
You have given us as a temporary home,
together with our migrant brothers and sisters,
toward the eternal dwelling you have prepared for us.
Open our eyes and our hearts
so that every encounter with those in need
becomes an encounter with Jesus, Your Son and our Lord.

Amen.

So now, the mass migration agenda of the Vatican, International Organizations, and either's agents of political subversion from within various sovereign nations, is to be consider as the journey of God's church throughout history to the promised land. Or the Exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt. I guess therefore the Vatican and international organizations are like Moses since they are the ones facilitating this, or actually they are like God, who instructed Moses and Christians today as well. Yes, that is more accurate. Since these unelected self important peoples or institutions do often put themsleves in the place of God, no even above Him, in bypassing the will of the peoples of entire nations.

No sir. People who are Muslims and or of other non bible believing religions or nations, are part of no such thing. Nor atheists that are among the migrants. Nor drug traffickers among them. Nor human traffickers among them. Nor terrorists or other people of evil intentions among them. Nor any just looking for handouts or new criminal fields from which to operate among them. Nor those simply looking for better opportunities entering the lands illegally ahead of others seeking to do so through proper channels, among them. Quite frankly, none of them at all, are anything like the Hebrews leaving Egypt and going to other lands. Or like the bible believing Christians journey through this world unto the heavenly kingdom.

Not one of them in fact, save probably rare occasions. Because it is not God who called them to their migrations, but rather poor conditions and or the incentives set before them by the Vatican and international entities. Who organize and facilitate these mass migrations to accomplish political goals of destabilization of existing government and nations. To effect the major changes they intend toward global government and economy under their authoritarian rule.

These things are not of God at all, but rather the result of the intoxicating influence of the wine of Babylon, under the direction of antichrist and the evil one himself. It most certainly is about the journey of a certain church, but that church is not the Church of Christ.

It is about the journey of the Church of Rome's agenda driven march toward world domination. By the destruction of sovereign peoples and nations, unto established authoritarian rule of globalist unelected international organizations under the moral direction of the Popes of Rome. A Feudalist globe rather than the old Feudalist Europe under the moral guidance of the popes of old. As the unelected leaders of Europe of that day lorded themselves over the people also, while in bed with the Popes of   Rome and the Vatican. So be it as God's word  has determined.

Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

A Feudalist globe rather than the old Feudalist Europe under the moral guidance of the popes of old. As the unelected leaders of Europe of that day lorded themselves over the people also, while in bed with the Popes of   Rome and the Vatican. So be it as God's word  has determined.

Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

 

That man has to be  certifiable.  He says nothing that could even remotely resemble anything normal.

Agreed.

Interesting video about immigration. While the video centers upon the UN, as this thread points out, the Vatican is on boar as well. If not the true main culprit involved.

QuotePope Francis: Trump and Harris are 'both against life' but Catholics must vote and choose 'lesser evil'

The U.S. presidential election in November took center stage in the 42-minute press conference given by Pope Francis on the flight from Singapore to Rome on Sept. 13. An American journalist asked the pope what advice he would give to Catholics in the United States on voting, given that one of the candidates, Vice President Kamala Harris, supports broad access to abortion, while the other candidate, former president Donald J. Trump, says that if elected, he will deport 11 million undocumented migrants.

"Both are against life. Both are against life. Both: the one who throws out migrants and the one who kills children. Both are against life," Pope Francis stated.

His answer reaffirmed what he has taught since his election as pope: Abortion is against the Catholic Church's teaching on life, but so, too, are other assaults on human dignity that affect the poor, migrants, victims of human trafficking and others.

The U.S. bishops have long described abortion and euthanasia as "pre-eminent" concerns for political engagement in their teaching document "Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship." In 2019, the bishops quoted Pope Francis in their introductory letter to that document but rejected a proposal to include a full paragraph from his exhortation "Gaudete et Exsultate" in which he critiques the view that "the only thing that counts is one particular ethical issue or cause" (No. 101).

Francis says he is aware of how U.S. bishops generally view the question of abortion as it relates to the election from discussions at the Vatican during their ad limina visits and on other occasions.

In November 2023, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops adopted a new introduction to "Faithful Citizenship" that affirmed abortion as their pre-eminent priority, despite calls from some bishops to overhaul the document in response to modern challenges and to reflect new insights from Pope Francis. The document was produced in 2007, before the Francis papacy.

At today's press conference, the pope explained why he saw the positions of both presidential candidates as "against life." He began by addressing the question of migrants, saying, "To send migrants away or to not give migrants the ability to work, to not give migrants a welcome, is serious. It is a sin."

"In the Old Testament," he recalled, "there is a refrain: the orphan, the widow and the stranger— that is, the migrant. They are the three that the people of Israel must protect. The one who does not protect the migrant is failing. It is a sin. It's also a sin against the life of those people."

"I celebrated Mass at the border, close to the Diocese of El Paso," the pope said. "And there were many shoes of migrants who ended badly there." He was referring to his visit to Mexico in February 2016, when he celebrated Mass in Ciudad Juárez, as people from El Paso prayed on the U.S. side of the border wall. Before that Mass, a priest from Ciudad Juárez had placed worn migrants' shoes at the foot of a cross facing the bridges that span the Rio Grande.

"Today," he said, "there is a flow of migrants in Central America, who often are treated like slaves."

Francis, the son of Italian migrants to Argentina, emphasized that "immigration is a right, a right that is in sacred Scripture, and it was in the Old Testament: the stranger, the orphan and the widow. Don't forget that. That's what I think on migrants."

Turning to the question of abortion, Francis was equally forthright. He said, "Science says that a month after conception all of the organs of a human being are there. All of them."

Therefore, he said, "[t]o have an abortion is to kill a human being. You may like the word, or you don't like it, but it is to kill.... The church does not permit abortion. Why? Because it is to kill, it's an assassination. It's an assassination, and we must have things clear on this."

He then returned to the rejection of migrants. "To send migrants away, to not allow them to develop, to not allow them to have life, is a bad thing. It is evil." Likewise, he said, "To send away a child from the womb of the mother is an assassination because there is life."

He added: "We must speak about these things clearly.... There are no 'buts.' Both things are clear." He again reminded people not to overlook "the orphan, the stranger and the widow."

The U.S. journalist, however, persisted in the topic and asked, "In your view, your holiness, are there circumstances in which it is morally licit for a Catholic to vote for a candidate who is in favor of abortion?

The Jesuit pope did not provide a yes-or-no answer. Instead, he responded: "In the moral [teaching] about politics, in general, it is said that to not vote is bad. It is not good. You must vote, and one has to choose the lesser evil."

In this situation, he asked, "What is the lesser evil? That woman, or that man?" He said: "I don't know. Each one, in their conscience, must think and [vote]."

Warped perception is, as warped perception does. First and foremost, the popes use of old testament scripture to support illegal immigration to the extent that God called for and Israel allowed such, is warped indeed. God called for Israel to remain a distinct people, closely guarding their place as a distinct people of God on earth. Forbidding intermarriage and any compromising inter-relations with those of any foreign nation. The acceptance of any foreign peoples into the nation of Israel, who did not specifically intend to fully integrate into Jewish society and religion, was a sin against God. A treasonous action. Exactly addressed by God himself, concerning the detrimental effects of such relations with peoples of the foreign nations around Israel.

Only during times of apostasy, when Israel was backsliding, were such relations and immigrations of peoples and attending compromises allowed by Israel's rulers. Which always resulted in open apostasy, and national ruin by the eventual judgments of God. Why should the United States expect anything less from allowing countless millions of foreigners into their country who have no desire to integrate, and have very different political and or religious views. Such is an obvious implement of major change and or conflict from within any nation that allows this.

Apart from this is the popes warped perception regarding the duty of nations to accept countless migrants from countries who are not and or will not provide sufficiently for these citizens of their nation in the first place. Perhaps the pope and Vatican are to busy being in bed with the leaders of these nations and every nation they can, to politically correct and or ostracize them for not more properly providing for their own citizens. In any case, correcting the problems at home, is a much better solution than spreading the problems abroad. Seriously effecting the economic stability of other nations, not to mention the social, religious, and political tensions which arise as well.

It is unquestionably a grave sin against God and humanity to support and facilitate mass migrations into countries the world over, against the will of the citizens of those nations who are and will continue to be negatively effected in many ways by such unwanted invasions. Countries have a right to set up legal migration processes to accommodate immigrants, many of whom can be great assets to any nation, as they are able to handle without negatively effecting their own citizens and systems of government. The pope and Vatican have no right to force their globalist political visions of wealth redistribution, equity, and social justice stances, upon the citizens of any nation against the will of the peoples of said nations. Supporting and facilitating such while demeaning any and all that would Protest these violations of the will of sovereign nations, amounts to nothing short of literal asymmetrical warfare against peoples and nations.

The redistribution of wealth against the will of the peoples whose wealth is being redistributed, which the papacy is so proud of implementing, is nothing short of robbery and theft. Breaking the eighth commandment of God. This warped pope and papacy, apparently do not consider their own gross sins against nations and peoples, while falsely accusing all who would disagree with their own twisted views as committing sin for doing so. So be it as God's word has determined. The world and nations will increasingly drink the wine of Babylon, unto our own destruction by the judgments of God.

Rev 18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. 4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

The redistribution of American wealth, (tax payers money) without their consent, through illegal immigration. As the women from FEMA states at one point, they were doing as Congress instructed them. So which traitorous Congressman or woman voted for this, or illegally instructed FEMA to do this?

QuoteDonald Trump Under Pressure from Catholic Church on Mass Deportation Plan

A top leader in the Roman Catholic Church has called on President-elect Donald Trump to implement a "wise policy" on immigration, as the Republican plans to bring about mass deportations.

The Holy See's Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, said in Rome Thursday that the church wished Trump well and "much wisdom" as he prepares to take office again in January.

The Cardinal was asked about the President-elect's plans on immigration, which include tougher restrictions at the U.S.-Mexico border and the deportation of at least 11 million undocumented migrants.

"It seems to me that the position of the Pope and the Holy See is very clear in this regard," he told reporters at the Gregorian University. "We are for a wise policy towards immigrants and therefore one that does not go to these extremes."

In October, faith leaders told Newsweek that closing the border to refugees and asylum seekers went against the country's Christian values.

Christian refugee advocacy groups World Relief and Open Doors U.S. said that one in seven Christians worldwide was living under the threat of persecution, including those in countries like North Korea, Iran and China.

In the 2024 fiscal year, which ended Sept. 30, nearly 29,500 Christian refugees from 50 countries had been admitted into the U.S.

Speaking to Newsweek Thursday, World Relief's vice president of advocacy and policy Matt Soerens said he was worried for undocumented migrants who had been in the U.S. for decades.

"Many of them have U.S.-born children, so if by mass deportation President-elect Trump means deporting all undocumented immigrants, that would mean deporting the parents of 4 to 5 million children," Soerens said.

"That would be very troubling to us at World Relief and the vast majority of Evangelical Christians, 91 percent of whom say immigration policy should preserve the unity of the family."

Soerens said immigrant churches across the U.S. were feeling concerned that their members could be swept up in mass deportations, should the program come to pass.

On Thursday, Cardinal Parolin said Pope Francis had given precise and clear indications on migration, saying that "this is the only way to address the problems and solve them in a humane manner."

The Pope has spoken on the issue of immigration worldwide since his election in 2013, with the numbers of those displaced through conflict and extreme weather only growing since. Speaking in August, the Pope criticized those who stood in the way of migrants finding refuge.

"There are those who systematically work by all means to drive away migrants, and this, when done knowingly and deliberately, is a grave sin," he said.

Soerens said World Relief would be working over the coming months to encourage the Biden administration to protect those in the U.S. under programs like Temporary Protected Status and Humanitarian Parole, such as those from Haiti, Venezuela and Cuba, while also calling for reforms to punishments for undocumented migrants when Trump takes office.

"If Congress would act on this, that could be a fine and not deportation to a country they haven't seen in 30 years in some cases and that their U.S.-born children have never seen," he said.

So I guess, never mind the extremes of illegal immigration we have been experiencing under papal moral guidance, do not take extreme measures to correct these nation damaging illegal immigration extremities. Which the Vatican approves of, supports, and helps facilitate with tax payers own money against their will. Exactly to manipulate the politics of this nation unto the Vaticans own vision of government and society over and above that of countless millions of this nation's own citizens.

Interesting that the article mentions the almost 30000 Christian immigrants we helped. So who were the other millions we have let in, if not Christinas seeking asylum?

QuotePope Francis Attacks Donald Trump's Deportation Plans: 'Disgrace'

Pope Francis has slammed President-elect Donald Trump's mass deportation plans and described the policy as a "disgrace."

"If it is true, it will be a disgrace, because it makes the poor wretches who have nothing to pay the unpaid bill. It won't do. This is not the way to solve things," Francis said during an interview with the Italian talk show Che Tempo Che Fa on Sunday.

Newsweek has contacted the incoming administration for comment via email outside of normal office hours.

Why It Matters

Francis' comments come as Trump prepares to take office and fulfill his campaign promises to strengthen border security. Following his inauguration, Trump is expected to swiftly implement his immigration agenda by signing a series of executive orders aimed at carrying out mass deportations. Reports indicate that immigration raids are planned in major cities, including Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Denver, and Miami.

What To Know

The remarks come after Francis appointed Cardinal Robert McElroy as the next Archbishop of Washington, D.C.

McElroy has described mass deportations of immigrants as "incompatible with Catholic doctrine."

Advocacy for migrants has been a cornerstone of Pope Francis' papacy, as he has consistently stressed the importance of welcoming and integrating them into societies.

During his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump's plan to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border drew a notable response from the head of the Catholic Church. After celebrating Mass near the border, the Pope remarked that anyone building a wall to exclude migrants is "not Christian."

According to The Wall Street Journal, the Trump administration was set to launch a large-scale deportation operation in Chicago starting Tuesday, his first full day in office until plans were leaked to the media.

The operation reportedly would involve as many as 200 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.

However, incoming border czar Tom Homan has said plans to launch a major immigration raid in Chicago this week are under review after details of the operation leaked to the press.

The Trump administration plans to revoke a long-standing policy that bars ICE agents from making arrests at sensitive locations such as churches.

The ICE policy requiring agents to obtain prior approval before making arrests in sensitive locations was introduced in 2011 through a memo by then-director John Morton. The policy remained in effect during the first Trump administration and continued through the Biden administration.

What People Are Saying

Chicago Cardinal Blasé Cupich said reports of mass deportations targeting the Chicago area "are not only profoundly disturbing but also wound us deeply."

Speaking from the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City on Sunday, Cupich said that governments are responsible for protecting their borders and communities.

"The Catholic community stands with the people of Chicago in speaking out in defense of the rights of immigrants and asylum seekers," he said. "Similarly, if the reports are true, it should be known that we would oppose any plan that includes a mass deportation of U.S. citizens born of undocumented parents."

"If the indiscriminate mass deportation being reported were to be carried out, this would be an affront to the dignity of all people and communities, and deny the legacy of what it means to be an American," he stated.

Tom Homan, incoming border czar, told ABC News on Saturday: "We're reviewing any plans in Chicago because of the leak. When the president gets sworn in, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are going to have a new priority of seeking out those who are considered a public safety threat and a national security threat."

The Reverend Randy J. Mayer, lead pastor at the Good Shepherd United Church of Christ in Sahuarita, Arizona, previously told Newsweek: "The incoming administration talks a lot about indiscriminate mass deportations and increased immigration enforcement, but it is the cruelty, vulgarity, and vengeance that seems to singe their words.

What Happens Next

Trump is set to be inaugurated at noon today and is expected to sign more than 200 executive orders on Monday just hours after taking office, per reports by Fox News and ABC News.

He will address illegal immigration and border security while laying the groundwork to conduct mass deportations.

Catholic leaders now feel the right to determine what it means to be a real American. The Catholic church facilitating mass illegal migration into the U.S. and care for them when they arrive on tax payers dimes of a nation already 36 trillion dollars in debt is good. Stopping such financially harmful results of wealth redistribution, and casting a bunch of the people and costs back upon the nations which they traveled from with heavy Vatican support along the way, is bad.

Nobody who disagrees with these Vatican and Pope expressed views, is a true "Christian". Papal equity requires that nations who cannot or will not take care of their own people, should ship them elsewhere at the expense of the people of the nations they are shipped to. Don't fix the problem at the source, spread the disease and poverty abroad, that all successful nations may be equally poor as well. For the common good and equity of a global population of poor peasants if you will, who are so much easier for the global government the Vatican envisions to control and manipulate of course. You know, the global government and economic system the Vatican has been calling for now, for many decades. Whom she will be the moral guide and leader of, of course.

Nothing to see here, move along, and go along with the papal program little people.

The Catholic Church is on the wrong side of illegal immigration: Basile

https://www.vaticannews.va/en/church/news/2025-01/cardinal-cupich-chicago-reports-mass-deportations-immigrants.html

Quoted article below from link above.

QuoteCardinal Cupich: We oppose any immigrant mass deportation plan

Cardinal Cupich addresses reports of potential planned mass deportations targeting undocumented people in the Chicago area and reiterates the Catholic Church's commitment to human dignity, justice, and the rights of migrants and asylum seekers.

Expressing concern over reported plans of the new US administration to implement mass deportations targeting the Chicago area, Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago affirmed that such an action would be "not only profoundly disturbing but also wound us deeply."

"The Catholic community stands with the people of Chicago in speaking out in defence of the rights of immigrants and asylum seekers. Similarly, if the reports are true, it should be known that we would oppose any plan that includes a mass deportation of U.S. citizens born of undocumented parents," he said.
 
In a statement released on Sunday in Mexico City, where he is undertaking a pilgrimage, the cardinal wished the new government administration success in promoting the common good. Still, he decried the reports being circulated of potential mass deportations targeting the area and said such actions would betray the city's legacy of immigration.

Cardinal Cupich's statement comes on the eve of the inauguration of President Donald Trump who has pledged to stage a sweeping crackdown on illegal immigration immediately after he takes the oath of office on Monday.

Chicago is considered a "sanctuary" jurisdiction that limits cooperation with federal immigration officials.

The cardinal pointed out that Chicago, like much of the United States, owes its vibrancy and diversity to generations of immigrants. "There is not a person in Chicago, save the Indigenous people, who have not benefited from this legacy," he noted.

Call to conscience and action

Cardinal Cupich highlighted the importance of balancing lawful immigration enforcement with the defence of human dignity and rights, noting "We support the legitimate efforts of law enforcement to protect the safety and security of our communities - criminality cannot be countenanced when committed by immigrants or longtime citizens."

However, he stressed that the Church "vigorously supports local and state legislation to protect the rights of immigrants in Illinois."

And voicing strong opposition to reports of deportations involving U.S.-born children of undocumented parents, he said that this would be an affront to fundamental human rights and an assault on family unity.

Global and pastoral perspective

Quoting Pope Francis, Cardinal Cupich called for migration governance that respects human rights and avoids indiscriminate deportations.

"We are quick to forget that we are dealing with people with faces and names," he said and he repeated the Pope's warning against repatriating individuals to countries where they face grave threats.

"Millions of migrants flee their homelands for safer shores precisely because it is a life-or-death issue for them and their children," he stated.

Places of worship as sanctuaries

The Cardinal of Chicago affirmed the Catholic Church's commitment to protecting sacred spaces from immigration enforcement activities. He referenced the Sensitive Locations policy, which has been in effect since 2011 and discourages enforcement actions in places such as churches and schools.

"For members of faith communities, the threatened mass deportations also leave us with the searing question, 'What is God telling us in this moment?'" he asked, calling for a collective examination of conscience.

Invitation to dialogue and solidarity

Cardinal Cupich's statement concluded with an appeal for dialogue and for solutions that honour both the rule of law and the dignity of every person:

"People of faith are called to speak for the rights of others and to remind society of its obligation to care for those in need," he said, adding that "If the indiscriminate mass deportation being reported were to be carried out, this would be an affront to the dignity of all people and communities, and deny the legacy of what it means to be an American."

As I have stated many times over on these boards, and as the above twisted testimony demonstrates when juxtaposed with the actual facts, the Roman Catholic Church represents an agent of political subversion from within every nation she exists. Literally robbing and financially raping sovereign nations the world over through her deceptive and illegal manipulations. Which she ever refers to as establishing the common good. Which is nothing but her own political agenda being established at the expense of everyone and everything else.

This very institution is at the heart of mass illegal immigrations into this nation. Constantly facilitating the same at tax payers expense to the tune of the weight of countless billions upon the backs of the peoples of this nation, which is already 36 trillion dollars in debt.

Now she turns upon the government and peoples of this nation and wagging her finger at us, saying how dare you suggest or attempt to facilitate mass deportations of the people we have worked so hard  to illegally bring into your country at your own expense and financial burden. How dare you resist whatever we declare is for the common good. Who are the increasingly poor peasants of this nation and the politicians they would elect to represent their concerns, to defy the proclaimed and holy common good of the Roman catholic Church? Silence you peasants, and bow before the Vatican and the instructions or condemnations of her bishops and priests which she has spread throughout every nation of the earth.

Shut your mouths, bend the knee, put your heads back, and open your mouths, and drink the wine of Babylon unto global madness, poverty, peasantry, tyrrany, corruption, confusion, and finally desolation. The common good the Vatican envisions along with her globalist lovers, upon the backs of the seas and waters of the peoples of earth. Who will own nothing in absolute subjection to Babylon and her fornicating lovers, and be happy for such.

Jer 51:6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD'S vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence. 7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD'S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad. 8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed. 9 We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.

Rev 18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. 4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. 6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. 7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. 8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. 9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. 11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: 12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, 13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. 14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. 15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! 17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, 18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! 19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. 20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. 21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. 22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; 23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

Outstanding. Trump cutting off funding to NGOs taking our monies and using them to facilitate mass migration into our country. While the Catholic Church gets the very most monies and is the main culprit, several other churches or denominations are guilty as well. Including the Seventh Day Adventist church. Shame on those SDA's joining in on this misuse of tax payers monies without their consent. Cut all the funds off since they are being abused and handled basically illegally.

QuoteCatholic Charities draws fire over video coaching illegal migrants on how to duck ICE workplace probes

A Catholic charity that receives billions in government funding has stirred controversy for a video teaching migrants in the country illegally how to evade US immigration law.

In the video, distributed by Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee's Refugee & Immigration Services Program, immigration attorney Barbara Graham outlines step-by-step instructions for how migrants can thwart authorities conducting lawful investigations at their workplace.

"Do not panic, and do not run away. If you are frightened and feel like you need to leave, you can calmly walk toward the exit," Graham advised.

"If you are stopped, you may ask if you are free to leave. If the officer says no, do not try to exit the building. If you are questioned, you may tell them you want to remain silent," she continued.

She further suggested that illegal immigrants should stonewall authorities by refusing to answer questions including where they were born or how they got into the US.

According to a ProPublica audit of Virginia-based Catholic Charities USA's finances, the 114-year-old organization took in just shy of $2 million in federal grants in 2021.

In 2010, the group's scores of local affiliates were taking in a total of nearly $2.9 billion annually from the government — representing about 62% of its $4.67 billion annual revenue, the New York Times wrote at the time.

On its own website, Catholic Charities USA describes its "challenge" as to "support the federal government's right and duty to regulate our borders while also calling for bipartisan, effective, humane reforms to our country's broken immigration system."

The organization said 638,000 people have received immigration help from one of the group's 119 affiliates.

In the legal advice video, Graham offered the tip that illegal immigrants being questioned by authorities can simply "refuse to show identify documents," refuse to say what country they are from and refuse to sign any paperwork without first demanding a pro-bono attorney.

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) called for Catholic Charities USA to be defunded in a post on X in which he flagged DOGE, President Trump's newly minted Department of Government Efficiency.

In a follow-up statement to The Post, Burchett took aim at the charitable group for playing politics on the immigrant crisis.

"These nongovernmental organizations and Catholic charities have pushed a mind-blowing number of illegals into our country over the past four years. It's happening on both sides of the border. They're using your tax dollars, and they're not doing anybody any favors," he said.

He added: "Our priority should be finding the 300,000-plus kids these NGOs and Catholic charities lost, not giving legal advice to people who broke the law and are inside the US illegally."

Burchett was referring to the 300,000 migrant children who came into the US during the Biden administration and were released to sponsors with no immigration appointments — meaning the Department of Homeland Security has no way of tracking them.

The reaction on X was also swift, with many users excoriating the humanitarian group for wading into politics.

"Time to lose their tax status," a commenter quipped.

"These people should be arrested and prosecuted for aiding and abetting a federal crime," another mused.

Another user chimed in, "It's infuriating when organizations like Catholic Charities, which are supposed to be about helping people, start actively undermining the laws that are in place to protect our country."

In a statement, Kevin Brennan, Vice President for Media Relations and Executive Communications at Catholic Charities USA, told The Post, "Across the United States, Catholic Charities agencies serve the people most in need in their local communities, from hungry children and families trying to make ends meet to expectant mothers, veterans, disaster survivors, immigrants, seniors, and more," he said.

"This noble, merciful service is inspired by the teachings of the Gospel, which instruct us to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and welcome the stranger."

Catholic Charities USA isn't the only Catholic group to run afoul of the Trump administration's immigration policies in recent days.

Speaking on CBS News' "Face the Nation" in his first interview since becoming vice president, JD Vance questioned the motives of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops — the "largest refugee resettlement agency in the world" — which has "condemned" Trump's crackdown on illegal immigrants.

"I think the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has, frankly, not been a good partner in common-sense immigration enforcement that the American people voted for, and I hope, again, as a devout Catholic, that they'll do better," Vance told host Margaret Brennan.

"I think that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops needs to actually look in the mirror a little bit and recognize that when they receive over $100 million to help resettle illegal immigrants, are they worried about humanitarian concerns? Or are they actually worried about their bottom line?" he asked pointedly.

"We're going to enforce immigration law. We're going to protect the American people," he vowed.

According to audited financial statements reviewed by America magazine, the bishops group received around $122.6 million in 2022 and about $129.6 million in 2023 for refugee-related services.

The organization boasts that its Migration and Refugee Services department is responsible for resettling approximately 18% of the refugees who enter the US each year.

Trump and his no-nonsense border czar, Tom Homan, have pledged to curb illegal immigration, which went on virtually unchecked under the Biden administration's open-border policy that saw some 8 million migrants stream into the country over four years.

In the week since Trump's second inauguration, federal immigration agents have been rounding up hundreds of migrant criminals across the country on a daily basis, currently averaging 433 arrests per day.

On Sunday alone, ICE made 956 arrests nationwide, including arrests of violent criminals in Seattle, Atlanta, Boston, Los Angeles and New Orleans.
