Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò Responds to Jesuit Priest on USAID & Elon Musk

… hypocritical scribes and Pharisees, who resemble whitewashed sepulchers: they are beautiful to look at on the outside, but inside they are full of dead people's bones and every kind of putridity. So also you appear righteous on the outside before men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity (Mt 23:27-28).

Without resorting to the parable of the rich man and poor Lazarus, there is a Gospel passage that fits much better with the conflicts of interest of USAID-subsidized "charities":

Then Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who was later to betray him, said, "Why did not this fragrant oil sell for three hundred denarii and then give it to the poor?" This he said, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and because he kept the chest, he took what they put in it (Jn 12:4-6).
