When in doubt…

Follow the money…

When Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde lectured President Trump and Vice President Vance about immigration during her sermon at the National Prayer Service on the day after they were inaugurated, leftists hailed Budde for standing on principle and giving the Bad Orange Man a good scolding. As it turns out, however, Budde may have motivations that were a bit more tangible than principle: her church’s Episcopal Migration Ministry (EMM) rakes in millions from a number of taxpayer-funded entities for bringing the migrants. And the Episcopal Church is by no means alone in this: other churches that have recently taken principled stances against Trump’s immigration policies are in on the gravy train as well.

Lemme see, 53M divided by 3600…$14,722, somehow I don’t think they spent that much on each one of those illegals!

So, where did the money actually go???

And Catholic Charities claim they LOSE money every year, but got $1.4 billion in taxpayer dollars in 2021…

Some interesting dichotomy here, and it poses more questions than it does answers. I think it will be interesting to see what happens with this funding ‘pause’, and what these supposed ‘charities’ do when they don’t get their dole from the government trough.

Will they continue to pay for plane tickets, new iPhones, etc? Or will the illegals suddenly be ‘poor downtrodden’, yada yada???

And I added this because it was sent by a former Episcopalian who is now a Baptist deacon…

  1. If someone/something from DC made a statement, action, anything, there is money involved.

  2. J.L., once about 17 years ago I considered and began discernment for Holy Orders as a Deacon in the Episcopal Church. I knew there were problems but the longer Katharine Jefferts Schori was in things got worse so I paused my discernment. I then learned that our Priest was going to blackball me because when there was the government shut down I made a post on FB siding with the contract Clergy that was barred from entering NAS Jax. Currie was worse than Shori, and a new PB has only been in for 90 days so there is no read on him.
