Catholic Charities USA Brings Lobbying Operation to Capitol Hill Under Guise of “Social Ministry”
EWTN News portal reports that Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA) brought its traveling “People of Hope Museum” to Capitol Hill for its annual advocacy day, lobbying members of Congress on poverty-related issues including housing and food insecurity. Twenty-one diocesan officials from the conciliar structures met with approximately 60 congressional offices, and four members of Congress addressed the group. CCUSA CEO Kerry Alys Robinson characterized the effort as nonpartisan “social ministry” that “encompasses the full political spectrum,” while Vice President for Government Relations Luz Tavarez emphasized the goal of ensuring “government funding, government appropriations, is reaching the most vulnerable.” This spectacle of a purportedly Catholic organization petitioning Caesar for funds, boasting of bipartisan support, and presenting itself as a neutral social service provider constitutes a textbook demonstration of the conciliar reduction of the Church’s supernatural mission to mere naturalistic humanitarianism — the very error condemned by the pre-conciliar Magisterium in the most unequivocal terms.
