Just a few days after criticizing the religion’s authority over illegal immigration, Vice President JD Vance did talk at the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast on Friday.
In his first week in office, Vance, a Catholic, criticized the church, claiming that it receives more than$ 100 million in federal funding to provide services to immigrants and that the church is “worried about their bottom line.”
” I think the U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has, simply, not been a great partner in common immigration protection that the British people voted for”, Vance said,” and I hope, suddenly, as a devoted Catholic, that they’ll do much”.
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, which claimed the church provides services to migrants and refugees with more wealth than it receives, criticized those notes.
The USCCB stated that “every man resettled through USRAP is vetted and approved for the system by the federal government while inside of the United States.” ” In our partnerships with the authorities, the USCCB receives money to do this work, however, these resources are hardly sufficient to cover the overall cost of these plans”.
The USCCB and its members were awarded$ 129, 626, and 673 in cash from government deals in 2023, according to an inside assessment by the professional services organization KPMG, while spending more than$ 130.5 million on these programs.
For that reason, Vance’s responses and one another will be carefully watched.
Pope Francis, 88, is in critical condition after two drops as the cathedral entered its 2025 Holy Year, and the celebration comes as a result of this.
Francis has long criticized Donald Trump for his frequent remarks that the Trump administration’s strategies to arrest and arrest illegal immigrants” will end badly.”
Along with Vance, borders emperor Tom Homan blasted Francis over the notes.
” He wants to strike us for securing our borders — he’s got a walls around the Vatican, does he not”? said Homan, who describes himself as a longtime Catholic. ” But, he’s got a wall around to protect his people and himself, but we didn’t have a wall around the United States? I wish he would continue to support the Catholic Church, correct that, and omit borders police.
Vance, who recently converted to Catholicism in 2019, also observes Mass with his wife and three kids. He described an experience in his bestselling autobiography, Hillbilly Elegy, where he grew up in a home that just occasionally attended church.
Only three days after being chosen as Trump’s running mate, Vance made a statement to evangelicals today. He often discusses his faith.
At the occasion, which took place as part of the Republican National Convention, he said,” Social liberals have a seat at this table and always will have a seat at this stand.” ” I know that President Trump agrees”.
Vance also attended the Catholic meditation breakfast when he was a senator from Ohio next year.
