On Monday, the Vatican Charitable Foundation expressed its anger at what was called the “reckless” and “UNUMAN” planning the United States of the United States for International Development, where Pope Francis’s man insisted on development aid that the Trump administration remembers Christian principles on the care of others with the start of power.
Michael CZERNY, the Canadian Jesuit, born in the Czech Republic, is one of the Cardinate closely linked to the Francis office and heads the Vatican Office responsible for immigrants, the environment, and Caritas International Charitable and Development in the Church.
Caritas warned on Monday that millions of people will die as a result of the “harsh US decision to” stop the “threat” of the United States Agency for International Development, and hundreds of other millions will be convicted of “stripping poverty for humanity.”
The US Agency for International Development is the Humanitarian arm and the main international development of the US government, and in 2023 it managed more than $ 40 billion in joint credits, which represents about 40 percent of the global aid budget.
The Trump administration and billionaire ally, Elon Musk, targeted the most difficult international development agency to date in challenging the federal government: the freezing of full financing has closed most of the US International Development Agency programs around the world, although a federal judge on Friday may temporarily stop plans to withdraw thousands One of the agency staff is off the job.

The Trump administration is moving to reduce thousands of jobs in the United States Agency for International Development (USAA), where the judge has issued efforts to reduce the US federal workforce through acquisition offers.
In an interview with Associated Press, CZERNY said that every government has the right to review the foreign aid budget, and even to reform an agency such as the United States Agency for International Development. But he said it was another thing to dismantle an agency after making funding obligations.
“There are ongoing programs and expectations – we may say even obligations. Breaking the obligations is dangerous,” said CZERNY, 78, on Sunday. “So, while every government is eligible to review its budget in the event of foreign aid, it will be good to have some warning because it takes time to find other sources of funding or find other ways to face the problems we face.”
One of the largest financing recipients at the US International Development Agency for Finance is the Catholic Relief Services, the Relief Agency in the Catholic Church in the United States, which has already looked at the discounts. CZerny said other programs, including Caritas International programs on the diocese and the national level, are also directly or indirectly affected.
In a statement, Caritas urged governments to invite the American administration urgently to reverse the path.
Although it is large, the US International Development Agency budget is less than one percentage of US gross domestic product and a small part of the biblical call to 10 percent of the per capita income. Social faith and justice in Toronto.
The United Nations AIDS looks warning
CZENY comments come as the President of the United Nations AIDS also warns that HIV will rise without a significant arrival from the United States Agency for International Development.
“We will see an increase in this disease,” said Winnie Bianima.
“This will cost life if the US government does not change its opinion and maintain its leadership,” she said, adding that it was not in its place to criticize any government’s policy.
In one of the Kenyan provinces, 550 HIV workers have been immediately demobilized, while thousands of others were finished in Ethiopia, leaving health officials unable to track the epidemic.
She noted that the loss of American financing for HIV programs in some countries was catastrophic, with external financing, most of which are from the United States, representing about 90 percent of its programs. She said that approximately $ 400 million goes to countries such as Uganda, Mozambique and Tanzania.
“We can work with (Americans) on how to reduce their contribution if they want to reduce it,” she said.
BYANYIA also said that the loss of American support in the efforts to combat HIV was coming at another critical time, with what its calls “magic prevention” known as Lenacapavir arrived, a snapshot that shows that it provides full protection against HIV in women. , Which I almost worked as well as for men.
She noted that Lenacapavir, which was sold as Sunlenca, was developed by the American company Gilead.

Treatment of immigrants is a source of concern
Another field that matters to the Vatican and the Catholic hierarchy in the United States is the Trump administration campaign against immigrants that are not documented. White House press secretary Caroline Levitte said last week that more than 8,000 people have been arrested in immigration enforcement procedures since Trump’s opening on January 20.
Some are held in federal prisons, while others began sending them to the Guantanamo Bay base in Cuba.
“The campaign is a terrible way to manage affairs, and much less to manage justice,” said CZERNY, whose family migrated to Canada after World War II. So I am very sorry because many people are in pain and are already suffering from procedures.
“All we can hope is that people, the people of God and the people of goodwill, will help and protect these vulnerable people who suddenly become more vulnerable.”
The American Catholic Bishops Conference made an unusual decisive statement after President Donald Trump’s initial orders, saying that “they focus on the treatment of migrants and refugees, external assistance, expanding the death penalty, and the environment, is deeply concerned, otherwise it will have negative consequences, and many of them will harm the most weak among us .
Inspired by the biblical call to “welcoming the stranger”, Francis made the care of migrants a priority from Pontvie, calling on countries to welcome, protect, promote and integrate those conflicts fleeing, poverty and climate disasters. Francis also said that governments are expected to do so with their ability.
