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.”

Tax them, Donald! That’ll teach them a lesson! In fact, tax all religions so the rest of them know not to challenge you!
I can see him starting his own religion instead, once he realizes how much merch he can sell.
The MAGA Mega Church
This is how I imagine Netanyahu talks to Trump to get him to do his biddings
Think of prayers asked and answered as an exchange of goods. Now tariff them.
None of this behavior is surprising. He has always been this way. I’m tired of people who should know, not realizing this. Trump has always been this way, and he should have been gone when he made fun of the disabled veteran all those years ago.
His pettiness has allowed him to achieve amazing things. He used it to fuel his ambitions to replace the Catholic Church.
Now he is the one offering sanctuary and relief to countless pedophiles worldwide.
Trump eventually betrays everyone who trusts him. Including his own family.
what a petty little bitch
A shame that a whole country wants their intentions to be decided by a narcissist.
I’m curious if there’s historical record of anyone or especially a leader being as petty as this short fingered vulgarian.
I’d like to think anywhere before say 1900s they’d have dealt with such an issue in a way relevant to the times. But we have stories of Nero and Caligula…is Trump going to join their ranks in history? I do hope so, but as a footnote, the worst thing for him is to be forgotten when he’s done.
At this point, beyond all political crap, the proper stand is to just ignore the orange infant. I thought otherwise before, how to ignore a driving force in the world? Well if every other country stops acknowledging him, he’ll probably have a stroke or something. Seriously let’s all make an ignore Trump day/month and everyone including countries just don’t acknowledge he’s there. At his age that may least overcome one issue. Plus the rage posts will be great for the books, history and psychology.
Seriously who lets someone like that get into power? He’s a petulant child and should be treated as such but somehow he’s been treated with kid gloves cause he’s rich.
I second that idea. Lets make June Ignore the Orange Shit-stain month since his birthday is in June. Maybe he’ll stroke-out out of pure rage.
He wouldn’t notice or care. Ignoring Trump is how he got elected twice.
The “ignore” tactic might work on an anonymous internet troll, it’s impossible for the president of the US. Even if he acts like an internet troll.
Do you think we can trick him into taxing churches
Him in a vacuum? Yes, probably.
However, it’s the handlers and enablers Wormtonguing him behind the scenes that make it difficult.Wormtonguing him behind
Ahhhhhh! You could’ve chosen any combination of words but you had to use tonguing and behind.
Probably that too tbh
Call it a tariff instead and it’s got legs.
I really want the pope to excommunicate Vance over all of this. That would be some excellent television.
That would be funny to see Biden going into a church and Vance being stopped outside.
How does he think this is going to punish the Catholic Church? The man is a complete moron.
Please, can I have just one day without some shit from that orange stain? Just one fucking day!
Not until someone puts a bullet down his eye socket.
And even then…
“Support me politically, or I will do stuff that will hurt the kids living in my own country” was Putin’s thing back in 2012.
This regime brought to you by the “Culture Of Life ™.”
I thought the Antichrist was supposed to be cool and suave, not this fucking thing.
People unironically believe Trump is cool and suave.
Context is important. He’s a charlatan, cool and suave to people who are easily manipulated. Which is supposed to be the atheists, but it turns out, believing in made up shit your whole life and ignoring science makes you way easier to manipulate than being an atheist.
Gotta give it to them for finding the absolute perfect target here.
- Stealing money.
- Catholic.
- Alone Children.
- Migrants.
- Shelter and Care.
It’s like rolling a Yahtzee for them.
Every cult needs a religious leader, he is just eliminating the fake ones, like … checks notes … the Pope.
This guy is such a loser. Don’t ever forgive the losers who voted for this because they’re irredeemable trash
you realized the voters, are dumber than he is. and he called them suckers and losers.
I think that he meant the suckers and losers are those “boots on the ground” people.
Imagine normalising having a “Feud with the Pope”. Mental.
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
This is stupid because Catholic Charities isn’t even part of the Catholic Church-- it’s a USA-based charity organization that’s happens to be Catholic. And while they have developed many associations with the Catholic Church both here and around the world, that’s all they are: associations. The Church doesn’t run the charity. It’s an independent organization.
It’s stupid in a LOT of ways. But yes, that’s one important one.
well, sure. it’s not even against Catholic Charities in general, but a specific attack against Catholic Charities in Miami - a huge voting district for him where, in the 2024 election, Trump brought in 55.2% of the county votes, while Kamala Harris logged 43.71%, an abysmal showing compared to 2016.
