Catholic Charities Boston: Works of Mercy Without the Faith That Gives Them Meaning
EWTN News reports that Catholic Charities Boston has witnessed a dramatic surge in demand at its city-wide food pantries, distributing nearly 3 million pounds of food over the past year and registering over 2,000 new households in the last three months alone. Jonathan Tetrault, the organization’s vice president of economic empowerment, attributed this increase to federal cuts to programs like SNAP, rising fuel costs, and soaring utility prices. While the article presents this as a straightforward charitable endeavor, a deeper examination reveals the profound spiritual bankruptcy that pervades such post-conciliar “Catholic” institutions—outwardly performing corporal works of mercy while systematically stripping them of their supernatural foundation, reducing the Church’s mission to mere naturalistic social activism indistinguishable from secular humanitarianism.
