Most people conflate and or confuse the true meaning of the word Church. The Church is the millions of men and women who follow their creed as explained to them by the leaders of the Church.
Neither Pope Francis nor the Vatican are the Church. He is the pontiff who resides in the Vatican and who presumably has the authority to instruct Catholics how to be true followers. He is the leader, and all the cardinals, bishops, etc., are his delegated officers. For some inappropriate and most definitely ungodly reason, they are called Princes of the Church instead of the servants of Jesus.
While it is true that many of these leaders are selfless individuals, there have been appalling discoveries proving that many others were predators upon the young, despicable pedophiles and unholy creatures who acted with impunity over decades with the full knowledge of other leaders ⎯ who covered up their tracks to ‘save the name of the church’.
The Vatican deliberately shuffled these predators to different countries on different continents to continue their depraved actions.
Because several popes were involved in the cover-up, The Vatican had to pay billions of dollars in compensation for the enormous harm committed by these leaders against ordinary Catholics. The Anglican, Presbyterian, and others are not exempt. The levels of hypocrisy, duplicity, and mendacity exhibited by such leaders are obscene.
Invariably, these church leaders appeal to the decent nature of their congregations for money and contributions to keep the institution going. They also earn hundreds of millions of dollars as tax-exempt registered charities and NGOs, collecting even more millions as philanthropies and helping underdogs.
For a recent and excellent example, Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde had the audacity, hypocrisy, and total disregard for decorum and attempted to lecture President Trump and Vice President Vance about their immigration policies during her sermon at the National Prayer Service on the day after they were inaugurated.
She used her platform to insert the consistently one-sided and twisted leftist sanctimonious mantra to a captive audience, celebrating one of the most momentous inaugurations in the history of the Republic.
What 99% of Americans do not know is that Budde’s motivation was not as holy as she pretended it to be because there is an extremely important financial element in the equation: her Church’s Episcopal Migration Ministry (EMM) rakes in millions of dollars from a number of taxpayer-funded entities for bringing illegal immigrants into the USA.
By the way, the Episcopal Church is by no means alone in this colossal scam; almost all other so-called ‘Christian’ churches are using the same gravy train to rake in hundreds of millions of tax-payers dollars while pretending they are doing God’s work.
These church leaders have taken a ‘principled stance’ against what they claim to be Trump’s immigration policies, when in fact and in reality, these are the policies that “We the People” actually gave Trump the mandate to fulfill. Somehow, these leaders are as cluelessly woke as the globalist leftists who are more concerned about the well-being of ILLEGALS than about Americans or Christians.
Therefore, these leaders are acting treasonously against the will of the American people, and their charity status should be revoked forthwith. They make millions while undermining both the security and well-being of the very American people they pretend to be serving. They are, therefore, putting their business interests above and before God.
Budde’s hypocrisy should be made public in a name-and-shame article by the administration, and this gravy train should be terminated immediately as a DOGE action, saving hundreds of millions of dollars as promised by Trump.
The New York Post revealed that in 2023, EMM “earned $53 million from various taxpayer-funded government programs to resettle 3,600 individuals.” This is more money per illegal than most veterans get.
It is precisely because Trump is attempting to stop the illegal immigrant invasion that will end the funding for such programs, whereby the Episcopal Church and all other churches will suffer a significant loss of income, that they are attempting to shame him of being inhumane, totally ignoring why he was elected in the first place.
She also conveniently refrained from mentioning that according to the Post, EMM “‘sponsored’ 6,400 individuals from 48 countries in 2024. The leading nationalities were Muslim Afghans under a special humanitarian program.”
Not once have any of these church leaders ever associated Islamic Sharia terrorism with the destruction, occupation, plunder, slaughter, rape, displacement, or enslavement of Christians in Africa and Asia. Not a single article in any of these churches was ever published highlighting the relentless persecution of Christians by Muslims all over the globe.
Of course, not a single so-called ‘reporter’ in the legacy media ever thought it important to investigate this matter. The silence of Pope Francis and all these ‘princes of the church’ regarding this existential threat to Christianity is not only DEAFENING but also incomprehensible and beneath contempt.
This unworthy, sanctimonious bishop is more concerned with the financial rewards of bringing in illegals in the USA, against the will of the American people than saving Christians in the USA and abroad.
The Episcopal Church isn’t alone in this immense level of hypocrisy and treason. The Post notes that “the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) dwarfs EMM. Forbes reported that USCCB affiliate Catholic Charities USA, which has its hand in all aspects of immigration and seems to get money from every government agency except NASA, received $1.4 billion in taxpayer dollars in 2021. That’s 68 times more than EMM got that year.”
Dear readers, the alleged compassion and mercy exhibited by these corrupt church leaders have everything to do with economics and the survival of their institutions and zero concern with truly humanitarian or Godly reasons; otherwise, they would all have attempted to help dispossessed Christians in the USA and abroad instead of helping illegal Muslims.
These facts should be exposed by the administration using all podcasts, not part of the legacy media, because of the immense conclusions and implications they reveal.
