"...the decision to love & serve the stranger, the refugee, & the foreigner with charity is a hallmark of the Christian faith, such that a government crackdown on this work seems to be a threat to Christian practice itself...." @ebruenig @TheAtlantic

“… the church must renew and rebuild its practice of the social Gospel by taking up Pope Francis’ challenge to walk alongside and with those who will be affected” @DylanCorbett23 @americamag
The Catholic Church is an important moral force, critical humanitarian actor and will play an essential role in shaping humane migration policy. Here my contribution in @americamag on three ways the church can rise to the occasion in a time of trial.

"We are motivated by the Gospel of Jesus Christ to cherish, preserve and uphold the sacredness and dignity of all human life, foster charity and justice, and embody Catholic social and moral teaching..." @CatholicRelief mission statement
JD Vance speaking at the International Religious Freedom Summit, saying the US has been sending "thousands of taxpayer dollars abroad to NGOs dedicated to spreading atheism." That may(?) be a USAID reference, but the #1 recipient of USAID funding is Catholic Relief Services.

"To target this tiny portion of the federal budget in such a haphazard and irresponsible way ... is not a thoughtful or humane way to go about treating programs that help the poorest of the poor all over the world" Steve Colecchi @CatholicRelief @NCR

There’s no distinction. Catholic Charities is at the heart of the US Catholic Church. Catholics work in, volunteer for, give to, and pray for Catholic Charities and those it serves, in communities large and small across the United States. Many parts, one body. @CCharitiesUSA
@KDaniels8 No, the vice president accused Catholic Charities, not Catholics in general, of enabling child trafficking, and serving migrants and refugees in order to improve their bottom line.

"Ordo amoris" is a bright shiny object being used to distract you from the fact that the vice president of the United States accused US Catholics of enabling child trafficking, and of serving migrants and refugees in order to improve "their bottom line."

“It seemed like an effort to intimidate instead of a call to seek the best way forward" John Carr @GUcstpubliclife, with more from @mdcatholic and others
Vance's attack on the Catholic Church over its care of immigrants isn't out of the blue. For years, GOP leaders have levied similar attacks. It's part of the ongoing assault on and distrust of US institutions. And the deep divisions in Christianity.

@becketfund It all comes down to an old strategy: politicians targeting Catholics for political gain. /end
