MTG threatening Catholic Charities - Can't they use the Religion/Bible as their defense?

The same way Evangelicals use it to not bake cakes for gay couples, not dispense abortion pills?
the Bible literally says to take care of strangers. It doesn't say not bake cakes for gay people.

"We are not going to tolerate NGOs who take the American people’s hard-earned taxpayer dollars to facilitate the invasion of our country.
My brand-new DOGE subcommittee will be calling in Catholic Charities to find out why and to what extent they were helping illegals invade America."

You knew it would happen eventually. Papists won't be tolerated (as if anyone else will be either).

Not just that lunatic MTG.

Catholic Charities is contesting it on grounds of religious freedom (there is a particular law in Texas that strengthens this), but Abbot is saying that feeding the poor is not a proper exercise of religion.

Somehow, I don't think the general public will take kindly to seeing people in church robes hauled into congress to have MTG yell at them and act like damn ass.

we should also look after the sick, the lame, the infirmed. not to single out govenor abbot because he fits one of those categories... but he should fuck right off.
