Bishop Seitz INFURIATED by Vance’s Claims the Church is Profiting from Mass Migration

An American bishop has hit out at the claims of U.S. Vice President JD Vance that the Catholic Church is actively supporting open borders because it profits financially from the care of migrants.

Mr Vance, a Catholic convert, said in an interview on CBS’s Sunday news programme Face the Nation, that the U.S. bishops received millions of dollars annually from the federal government to resettle refugees.

Responding the bishops’ opposition to President Donald Trump’s deportation policy, he said: “Are they worried about humanitarian concerns? Or are they actually worried about their bottom line?”

Bishop Mark Seitz of El Paso, Texas, reacted by saying the remarks represented a “tremendous mischaracterisation”.

Mr Vance “clearly doesn’t know me,” said Bishop Seitz, chairman of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee on Migration. “He doesn’t know my heart.”

Bishop Seitz said: “I would love to sit down sometime with Vice President Vance and talk to him about these issues in regard to our resettlement work and things like that, because he clearly has been misinformed, and that’s so unfortunate, and when it comes from a person who has a loud megaphone right now it can be very, very harmful to this work of the Church to very vulnerable people. So it is really concerning.”
