Far be it from me to defend Donald Trump, but I don’t remember another pope who decided to meddle in American political affairs as much as this one. First he decided that global warming was something to weigh in on instead of baby-butchering and systematic destruction of the family. Now he decides to attack Donald Trump personally saying Christians don’t build walls as he returns to Vatican City with walls and more border control than any country on earth. I just don’t get it. I think he may be mentally-challenged (to use a PC term for what I really think).Its too bad too, early on he had gone further than any of his predecessors to change hearts and minds of protestants toward the RC church (at least for me). But wow, did he take a bump on the head during that fall maybe?
World Missions does not operate that way. Hasn’t since we have been a part. Don’t know about past. Everyone has an account. No excuses!!
As a career missionary I can tell you that every penny that comes in to a missionaries account goes to that missionary. It is allocated by monthly salary that is set to a pastor’s salary of a church from 1-50. Then it is adjusted according to your country. So less money where cost of living is less.
John PIckens, it has not always been as you detail. What Melvin says about holding funds and not sending all funds raised has really happened. I hope the policy has changed.
