I am against the stimulus but I will accept any money sent my way!!!!!!How much did your house of worship REFUSE to accept????
Obama "took what President Bush did and has expanded it," said the Rev. Larry Snyder, president of Catholic Charities USA, whose agencies received about $50 million from the stimulus.
Snyder, who sits on the White House's Faith Advisory Council, said that debate never spilled over.
"While it's true that the leadership of the Catholic Church has had disagreements with the administration, especially on life issues and on the details of health care reform, those issues really were kept separate from our ability to work with the administration on basic human services," he said.
The federal database at Recovery.gov for grants to faith-based groups shows a wide range of grants going to an array of denominations. Catholic groups, receiving about $90 million, were the largest; Protestant groups received at least $45 million; and Jewish groups received at least $6 million.
Groups associated with other faiths got substantially less. One Muslim charity in Chicago, the Inner City Muslim Action Network, received $277,000 for a green jobs program through the Department of Housing and Urban Development. a wide range of grants going to an array of denominations.
