making the church into an NGO (and making lots of money)

 LINK

article explains how the Bishops conference is making money from helping illegal immigration.

The USCCB acts as a Prime Contractor for the federal government. ...

for example 

 Take Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. In Fiscal Year 2024, they reported $101 million in revenue. A staggering $82 million—or 81%—came from government grants. The institution has a fiduciary interest in the continuation of the border crisis. If the flow of migrants stops, the contracts dry up. If the contracts dry up, the budget collapses.

Monetizing Debt: ...The system doesn’t just pay the Church to host them; it pays the Church to collect debt from them. Under the State Department’s refugee program, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) provides interest-free travel loans to refugees to fly them to the United States. Before they board the plane, refugees sign a “Promissory Note” agreeing to repay this debt. Here is the part they don’t tell you in the Sunday bulletin: The USCCB and its affiliates act as the debt collectors. ... The more debt they collect from the poor, the more revenue they keep for themselves.

  then they psychologically manipulate you with guilt to support this and look the other way at the corruption implicit in this policy.

The USCCB has mastered the art of weaponizing parish piety to protect its federal revenue stream. This is done through a sophisticated internal propaganda machine known as Justice for Immigrants. When you see a “National Migration Week” banner at your parish, or hear a homily about “welcoming the stranger” that sounds suspiciously like a World Economic Forum talking point, you are witnessing a downloaded “Action Kit.” These kits are explicit. The Missionaries of Hope Toolkit instructs parish leaders to “Bring elements of your community’s popular religion... to the forefront.” They cynically use beloved figures like Mother Cabrini as mascots. They weaponize Our Lady of Guadalupe to emotionally blackmail the faithful.

But this part is into conspiracy theory stuff, so I can't vouch if it is true. 

,,.. Even if you refuse to donate to the “Second Collection” for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD)—which was exposed for funding groups promoting abortion and LGBT ideology—you are still paying for it. Every parish pays a “Cathedraticum” or “Parish Assessment” tax to the diocese—usually 10-15% of the tithe. This money funds the “Social Justice Offices” that lobby for mass migration.....  ...

...Then came November 20, 2025. In a move that sent shockwaves through the Complex, the Department of Homeland Security finally pulled the plug. They issued a Notice of Suspension and Proposed Debarment to Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley (CCRGV)—the operation run by Sister Norma Pimentel. The letter was brutal. It didn’t cite theology; it cited fraud. DHS auditors found “sweeping inaccuracies” and “large gaps” in migrant records. They found over 248 instances of billing violations. This was the smoking gun. It proved that the “humanitarian” shield was masking a lack of accountability for hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars.

 

The End of Prophetic Distance Here is the hard truth that the USCCB doesn’t get. You cannot be a prophet and a contractor at the same time. A prophet stands outside the system, calling it to repentance. A contractor stands inside the system, cashing the check. By hip-joining itself to the federal migration apparatus, the American Church has traded its moral authority for bureaucratic relevance. It has become a logistics partner for a policy that—as the whistleblowers testified—often ends in the exploitation of the very children it claims to protect.

We are witnessing a profound identity crisis, where the Church is becoming indistinguishable from the government agencies it serves. 

Excuse me, but when I read about certain bishops condemning the government without putting things into context, I recognize those bishops are high on the gay friendly axis of McCarrick bishops.who protect their minions and don't recognize we layfolk see what they are doing.

any cynical Catholic knows this: We saw similar word games to protect priest predators in the past. My favorite: when our bishop claimed he had had no reports of pedophilia on his watch, yet one of my patients tearfully related how her husband helped pressure a family not to report their son's abuse by a local priest to the police. We also had editorials in the local Catholic paper praising the gay friendly priests as an exanple of tolerance and charity: These priests served in a local college town that later found a massive pedophilia scandal related to their football team outreach to poor children, 

The care of those fleeing to richer areas in times of war and mass migration is an old problem for the church: St Gregory the Great confronted it 1500 years ago.

actually I would allow those willing to work and check they are not being exploited: Ronald Reagan gave an amnesty to do this so Trump can do it too. 

But first there is a need to clear up the corruption and fake politicization using outside fund to train protests, where the naive are being used as propaganda as part of the Colour revolution against Trump. These tactics are well known but only work when ordinary people support them (they didn't work against Duterte even with the CIA Omidyar group funding news sites that were widely praised and quoted in the western media to blacken his name: But ordinary Pinoys knew the truth, and hey here they will only become paid protesters if they don't care or if they support the issue).

 Trump trying to clear out criminals and the ganga and those with fake NGO and charity and clinics to steal money under the guise of helping others.
