By Complicit Clergy Staff - After publishing our original analysis of federal immigration funding of Catholic NGOs on January 24, we were alerted to a number of NGOs we missed in our original analysis... Under the Biden administration, Catholic NGOs were awarded nearly $3.2 BILLION in immigration funding. That’s more than QUADRUPLE the level of funding under Trump’s first administration and more than DOUBLE the amount awarded under the Obama administration over the course of EIGHT YEARS!

By Mark Lambert, LifeSiteNews - Last month, the USCCB issued guidelines for immigration reform, encouraging lawmakers to safeguard communities in a “targeted, proportional, and humane” manner. In analyzing the U.S. bishops’ guidelines, it’s essential to distinguish between binding Church doctrine and prudential judgments. The Catholic Church upholds the dignity of every human person and acknowledges the right of nations to secure their borders and enforce immigration policies. These teachings are complementary, not contradictory. Misrepresenting them as opposing views indicates a misunderstanding or intentional distortion of Church teaching. 

By Dr. Jeff Mirus, Catholic Culture - Vice President Vance offered an impressive profession of faith at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, DC on February 20th. At the same time, he is a key part of President Donald Trump’s push to increase access to in vitro fertilization. You would think that after sparring with Pope Francis over the concept of ordo amoris (properly ordered love), Vance could do a better job of sorting out his moral priorities... In vitro fertilization1 is a laboratory process of creating a human embryo by using male sperm to fertilize female ova completely independently of the marital act. The marital act is by both nature and grace ordered to procreation through the marital embrace of husband and wife.
