Archbishop Vigano destroyed a US Jesuit priest who claimed that USAID was providing aid to the poor.
Archbishop Vigano is so right. It’s amazing he can be so right on US politics and live in Italy. He is truly blessed.
Vigano today took issue with Jesuit Priest James Martin.
Martin shared on twitter the following comment:
In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world’s richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don’t need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus’s parables on the rich and the poor.
In response Archbishop Vigano shared the following:
Are the USAID-funded Wuhan labs designed to engineer Covid “poor”? Are Soros-sponsored USAID-sponsored movements for color revolutions in Ukraine, Georgia, Hungary, Serbia, Romania “poor”? Are the NGOs that speculate on the trafficking of illegal immigrants “poor”?
Woe to you, hypocritical scribes and Pharisees, who resemble whitewashed sepulchers: they are beautiful to look at on the outside, but inside they are full of dead people’s bones and every kind of putridity. So also you appear righteous on the outside before men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity (Mt 23:27-28).
Without resorting to the parable of the rich man and poor Lazarus, there is a Gospel passage that fits much better with the conflicts of interest of USAID-subsidized “charities”:
Then Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who was later to betray him, said, “Why did not this fragrant oil sell for three hundred denarii and then give it to the poor?” This he said, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and because he kept the chest, he took what they put in it (Jn 12:4-6).
Here is Vigano’s post.
