    The catholic churches I attend constantly promote and asks the congregation to volunteer to help feed migrants nearby and donate unneeded clothes. I don’t know how successful they are, but I do know that family members who are also catholic despise the migrants for “taking jobs” and “committing voter fraud” and “getting biden checks while the rest of us break our backs”

      Idk about USA but in Poland catholic charity is unbelivably massive fraud and money laundering scheme, and it’s happening on every level, mainly thanks to the Caritas having hands in organizing most of things.

          Then it might be better, depending on structure. In Poland it would only change the pocket being lined since it’s hierarchical mafia-like structure and only poor and shitty parishes can sometimes see a parish priest that isn’t scum or buisnessman in cassock, because the the competition for better parishes is fierce so one must earn the bishop nomination. And while parish priests can sometimes be still decent, bishops and above are scum with zero exceptions.

              Other christian denominations are tiny minorities in Poland, i can think of two other catholic ones out the top of my head, Polish-catholic and Greco-catholic but those are just like tiny local gangs compared to central mafia. Maybe even worse since Greco-catholic is use as wedge against Ukraine and Russia by the pope, and Polish-catholics are wacko sect which only beef with r-c they had is that for them r-c is way too progressive.
