Uncle Sam-funded Church Proclaims poverty elimination while Stealing income

onprofit Profit-taking Charity
Sporting the “brand” “Catholic,” the
“Catholic Charities USA” reportedly “had revenues of $4.7 billion”—$2.9 billion
of which came from the US government” (2010 report). An estimated “$140 million
came from donations from diocesan churches,” the rest “from in-kind
contributions, investments, program fees, and community donations.”
In 2017, Catholic
Charities’ (Archdiocese of Washington) annual shindig no poor person can afford hauled in $2.4 million.
While the numbers of homelessness
and helplessness rise year after year, as more and more Americans find
themselves begging on street corners and sleeping under bridges and on sidewalks, CCUSA touts
itself as “Working to reduce poverty in America” its long history extending to the
1900s.
Into the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s “nearly a quarter,” then more than half,
then 60 percent, respectively, of the CCUSA’s income came from the Treasury of the
United States of America.
According to a Washington Times
study, in a three-year period (2012-2015), “the Catholic Church and related
Catholic charities and schools collected, at Uncle Sam’s expense, more
than $1.6 billion in U.S. contracts and grants in a far-reaching relationship
that spans from ‘school lunches for grammar school students’ to contracts
across the globe ‘to care for the poor and needy.’”
All that money a criminal’s paradise
Though it is impossible to do so, if we set aside the egregious human crimes
such as the rape and brainwashing committed by the pious against children over decades,
there is also ample opportunity for and mounting evidence of the pious’ theft to support their other peculiar predilections
and perversions.
And as with rapes, brainwashing and other abuses—the
perpetrators tend to get away with their crimes.

riminal “Pious” Inside
Blessed are the poor, for the “righteous” are keeping you poor.
- ABC News reporting July 9, 2013
A Roman Catholic nun connected with western New York churches steals cash
from parishioners’ weekly plate offerings and other checks totaling “$128,000.”
Her crime was rewarded with 90 days in jail, five years’ probation, 100
community service hours, and an order to pay back the money.
Questions
- Isn’t the profession of nuns supposed to be “community service” and how does a nun have time for gambling, as this nun was reportedly doing with her ill-gotten gains?
- If she was too poor to fund her gambling habit in the first place, where is she going to get a $128,000 payback?
In other words, she got away with it.
- Associated Press reporting April 10, 2017
A Monsignor purloins half a million dollars “from a priest retirement
home near Philadelphia.” His lawyer said the priest said he was sorry. Federal prosecutors made the charge and, at last report, the priest stayed on. He got away with his crime.
- USA Today/ KABC reporting December 11, 2018
Two nuns went on traveling, Las Vegas gambling jaunts with thousands of
dollars they reportedly embezzled from a Catholic school’s treasury of “tuition,
fees and donations.”
The archdiocese reportedly “notified police but doesn’t plan to press
charges.” The sisters got away with their crimes.
