The Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago has space in more than 60 shuttered churches, schools and other buildings listed for sale or for lease, and church officials offered up more than dozen of these locations to the city. But City Hall has yet to agree on any such offers from the archdiocese, instead renting private shelter spaces at high costs. The company that leases most private shelter spaces for the city, Equitable Social Solutions, has been paid a total $45.5 million, according to a Johnson administration list of what it's paying for the migrant influx.
Chicago Diocese expends considerable energy and monies on progressive causes unrelated to the spiritual welfare of its Catholic congregations. No wonder Sunday Mass attendance has dropped dramatically in past decades, and parishioner contributions significantly reduced as well. Chicago Diocese administration is a political action committee.

This story is really about which people with clout close to the mayor, county president and governor are getting paid. The Chicago Way.

What happened is that the state merged with a new church: the church of Globohomo, where your children pray to the transflag, they are infused with metaphysical gnosis of ‘gender’, and are indoctrinated in anti-racism. So yeah, I’d much rather have the old religion instead of the new one. But as the bible and Jesus repeatedly said, the world will always hate him and hate his followers. 2,000 years later, it still rings true.
Reports about Catholic Charities present strong evidence that they are willfully and purposely facilitating and participating in the illegal invasion of our country through the southern border. Our laws say only political asylum seekers can be considered. Others must go through the legal immigration process our Catholic ancestors went through in decades past. But today Catholic Charities says no, and enables people migrating because they heard of free handouts to enter illegally, and abuse the welfare system set up to help our citizens. All done in a very sneaky manner. Catholic Charities seems to get virtually all its funding from… Read more »
Had no idea about that. Too bad such a generous agenda towards the plight of others wasn’t expressed towards Jewish people and others trying to escape Europe in the ‘30s and ‘40s.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.

As a matter of public record, CC had over 2M in PPP “ loans “ forgiven.
The published annual report for Catholic Charities of Chicago showed they received $142 million of government fees and grants in 2023.
Had no idea about that. Too bad such a generous agenda towards the plight of others wasn’t expressed towards Jewish people and others trying to escape Europe in the ‘30s and ‘40s.
…….. TOTALLY WELL SAID……
