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.”

Please, can I have just one day without some shit from that orange stain? Just one fucking day!

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

The Pope has more cash in his junk drawer, I'm pretty sure the Catholics are not impressed

[–] CanIFishHere@lemmy.ca 12 points 6 hours ago

How does he think this is going to punish the Catholic Church? The man is a complete moron.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

This guy is such a loser. Don’t ever forgive the losers who voted for this because they’re irredeemable trash

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 2 hours ago

you realized the voters, are dumber than he is. and he called them suckers and losers.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 10 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Who in this day and age feuds with the dang pope? Are we going to have pope wars again? I hope so.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

Is there oil under Vatican City?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 2 hours ago

vatican still has the antimatter bombs.

[–] liuther9@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Maybe children

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 5 points 8 hours ago

Maybe some holy scented oils.

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.

[–] Smeagol666@crazypeople.online 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

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.

[–] YeahIgotskills2@lemmy.world 15 points 12 hours ago

Imagine normalising having a "Feud with the Pope". Mental.

Never interrupt your opponent when they're making a mistake

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 9 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Does this mean the Catholic and Cuban votes will finally turn on him?

[–] jtrek@startrek.website 14 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

If we could channel their cognitive dissonance to turn turbines, we'd solve the energy crisis.

[–] Goldmage263@sh.itjust.works 17 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (2 children)

I certainly plan to bring this up to my highly catholic family members and see where their loyalty truly lies.

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 hours ago

Thankfully my highly Catholic parents are both staunchly anti-Trump. They still have awful views on lots of other things though.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Godspeed. If you think of replying to this I'm genuinely interested.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 hours ago

I'll put 5 on "yeah I don't know what he's doing" "I don't agree with everything he does" "but look at all the good he's doing"

[–] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 92 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Tax them, Donald! That’ll teach them a lesson! In fact, tax all religions so the rest of them know not to challenge you!

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 25 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Right? I see no downsides to this.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 14 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 19 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

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.

Im just waiting for the pope to excommunicate him and the high level administration for crimes against humanity during this spat.

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 minutes ago

Fuck it do it anyways. It would break the brains of half of the us. Most American Christians that I've ever met don't know the difference between Catholics and Christians.

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 31 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Maybe he'll tax churches finally?

[–] normalentrance@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 hours ago

That idiot would probably try to tariff them.

[–] KC_Royalz@lemmy.world 21 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

He's actually petty enough to try. Lmao that would be fucking awesome

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 hours ago

That's like the best possible outcome and would justify having to put up with all of MAGA's shit.

He'd be killed by the evangelicals pretty quickly though.

[–] limelight79@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

I kind of would like to see the Scientologists take him on. That would be interesting.

Add "Petty Bitch" to the list of the Orange Child Rapist titles

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 59 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

He's had the Petty Bitch title for most of his life, though.

It's just not enough for him to rape children anymore. When Donald Trump rapes a child, he only hurts that one child. By taking millions from a charity that helps children, Donald Trump has found one more way to ruin many children's lives all at once.

Trump seems like a person who heard that old meme about "How many children could you defeat?" and he ran with it.

Stopping food programs for children. Bombing elementary schools. Raping children. Caging children and separating them from their families. Deporting children despite their being US Citizens.

Trump is working from every angle to harm as many children as possible.

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.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Trump eventually betrays everyone who trusts him. Including his own family.

I really want the pope to excommunicate Vance over all of this. That would be some excellent television.

When a government official loses and arbitrary and capricious action lawsuit, it shouldn't just reverse the policy, it should trigger an automatic removal review.

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 15 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Every cult needs a religious leader, he is just eliminating the fake ones, like ... checks notes ... the Pope.

[–] Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca 11 points 15 hours ago

Finally some traditional Christianty!
