Vatican official rips Trump for 'breaking commitments' with USAID cuts, says migrant are being 'terrorized' amid crackdown

[MAIL] A Vatican official has slammed Donald Trump for 'breaking commitments' with his cuts to USAID and and warned people are being 'terrorized' amid his crackdown on migrants.

Pope Francis' adviser on migration and development Cardinal Michael Czerny has urged the president to remember his Christian values.

'A crackdown is a terrible way to administer affairs and much less to administer justice,' said Czerny, whose own family immigrated to Canada from the Czech Republic as refugees after World War II.

'And so I'm very sorry that many people are being hurt and indeed terrorized by the measures.

'All we can hope for is that the people, God's people and the people of goodwill, will help and protect those vulnerable people who are suddenly made much more vulnerable.'

How much is the Catholic church losing due to the stop of USAID and other Uncle Sugar paymasters?

Czerny heads the church's Caritas Internationalis charity and development which is among the organizations affected by Trump's decision to axe foreign aid spending.

Ok, I'll ask.
How much did the VATICAN get, in 1 way or another via USAID?

#8 Part of the problem is that people are trying to scare everybody: "ICE is going to deport anyone with a Hispanic surname", "ICE is going to go into schools and carry out kids", "Kids are going to go home from school and find their parents gone", etc.
At this point, most of those arrested and deported are those who have committed other crimes - rape, robbery, murder.

#10 I am confused. How is an organization completely funded by taxpayers and run under the conditions of government agencies, a Non Governmental Organization?

It's not the Jesuit I mind so much as the Commie.
Man, I'm so old I remember when the Pope used to be a moral authority.
