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!

    Right? I see no downsides to this.

    I mean, killing a charity that provides care for unaccompanied migrant children without providing the care as a public service sounds like a downside to me.

    The Catholic Church can sell a painting to keep that open.

    They don’t even need to do that, does anyone actually know how much gold they have? Not to mention precious stones and the vast number of antiquities, they literally have god tier money

    Hell they could probably make a pretty penny copying some of the books in the Vatican library and selling nice versions to universities and libraries. I'm talking about the books they're paranoid to even look at least the velum and paper disintegrate from age.
