Many years ago, back in the 1950s and early 60s, Johnny Carson hosted a show by the name of "Who do you trust" (or, more correctly, whom to you trust!).
Basically, it went something like this: (from Wikipedia) "...the [married] couples would try to answer four questions. The first was a match question, where the spouses tried to match each other's answer to a question about their married life. The remaining questions were of general knowledge, where after the category was revealed, the husband chose whether to answer himself or "trust" his wife to do so, hence the name of the show. The first correct answer won $100, the second added $200, and the third $300. For the fourth question they could wager any of their winnings by answering a question from one of six categories ranging in value and difficulty from $100 to $600. If the couple won no money, they would answer a very easy $100 question. The couple with the most money competed with the winners from the previous week's show to name as many items as possible in a category with the couple coming up with the most answers receiving $100 a week for a year. Couples could return to the show until defeated; one couple, Erik and Helena Gude, remained on the show long enough to amass $120,800."

Now, back to the title of my article...
How on earth can we trust the USCCB? They have been caught red-handed so many times it's sickening!

Here is the subheading of the article: While the U.S. bishops have maintained that abortion is their 'preeminent priority,' their actions tell a different story, according to the Lepanto Institute founder and president.
"(LifeSiteNews) — In a video clip that Bishop Joseph Strickland encouraged faithful Catholics to watch, Michael Hichborn, founder and president of the Lepanto Institute, called out the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) for funneling 90% of their annual budget to illegal immigrant resettlement projects while investing only 1% toward pro-life efforts.
“The USCCB has a massive budget of around $200 million, and 90 percent (90%) of that budget went to immigration, refugee resettlement stuff,” explained Hichborn, yet only “One percent (1%) of that budget was used for pro-life activities.”
“Do you realize (that) annually the USCCB collects all kinds of money for immigrant refugee resettlement programs, and never once has it ever collected for pro-life activities?” he asked.
“Not once,” he emphasized.
While the U.S. bishops have maintained that abortion is their “preeminent priority,” their actions tell a different story.
“If it was a preeminent priority, wouldn’t you make it a fiscal priority? Wouldn’t you make it a policy priority?” Hichborn asked. “But they don’t even do that.”
Hichborn suggested that the opposite is true, revealing a different set of unspoken priorities at the bishops’ conference.
“The USCCB gives out tens of millions of dollars to organizations through the Catholic Campaign for Human Development fighting against life,” he said, “fighting in favor of abortion and contraception and homosexuality.”
Perhaps even more troublingly, earlier in his hourlong conversation with John Yep, CEO of Catholics for Catholics, Hichborn suggested that the members of the USCCB — many of whom for decades covered up instances of priest sexual predation, mostly involving homosexual pederasty — shouldn’t be trusted to fund the care of unaccompanied minors who have come across the porous southern border.
“The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops received $129 million (in federal funding) for the resettlement of refugees in the United States. Thirty million of that was spent on an unaccompanied child program,” Hichborn noted.
“How wise is it to give $30 million to an organization that has paid out $5 billion in sex abuse settlements for resettling unaccompanied children?” he wondered.
“The number one facilitators of illegal immigration in this country are the U.S. Catholic bishops,” Hichborn stated later in the conversation.
“And who better to shuffle people around in a hidden manner than bishops who are well-practiced in it when it came to the sex abuse crisis from 20 years ago?” he asked.
“This whole situation is such a black eye on the Catholic Church,” Hichborn said, “and the bishops are scrambling, trying to do damage control.”
“People have stopped listening to the USCCB because they’ve lost credibility.”'
End of article...
Could this be the reason that these "bishops" hate the recent actions of President Trump? If the honey pot of "free money" dries up, their dioceses will be further hurt in a big way! After all, these bad actors are paying -- or should I say, the Catholic in the pew is paying! -- for the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah, and hiding the abusers for years, causing horrific damage to innocent souls and their bodies! Now, diocese after diocese have been ruined of their Catholic, moral identity, as well as being totally bankrupt!
You be the judge...
Pray for the defeat of these modernist monsters -- and for their conversion to the Catholic faith!
Viva Cristo Rey! Bl. Fr. Miguel Pro, Fr. Emil Kapaun and Fr. Vincent Capodanno, pray for us...
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle...
St. Joseph pray for us!!
