The Trump administration has reportedly canceled an $11 million contract with the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami, which offers shelter and care to migrant children entering the United States alone.
The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), part of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), has paid Catholic Charities for numerous years to house immigrant children entering the U.S. without adult supervision. The federal government contacted the charity about the cancellation in late March, according to The Miami Herald.
The abrupt severing of the White House’s long-term support to the nonprofit comes amid an ongoing feud between President Donald Trump and Pope Leo XIV. Responding to Leo’s repeated criticism of the Iran war, Trump bashed the pope on Sunday in a social media post in which he called him “weak” on crime and “terrible” for foreign policy, urging him to “get his act together as Pope.”



Trump is DEFUNDING the Church AFTER threatening the POPE AFTER calling Jesus just a Doctor? What a GREAT FANTASTIC CHRISTIAN!
-Republicans!
Most Christians hate Catholics. They don’t even consider them Christian which blows my mind.
While I don’t know about Christians in other countries of the world, in the US this is mostly true. I heard all the time growing up in the Midwest that Catholics weren’t Christians.
If I recall my catechism, by definition Catholicism is one of the bread of Christianism. Catholics tends to be much less extreme (than evangelicals) and don’t take the bible literally or something like that. They prey equally on children it seems so there are shared grounds.
Same. It’s wild considering Catholics are half of the original church
