Catholic Charities Resettles Islamists: EVIL or INSANITY?

February 17, 2016

I don’t know how they decided this statement is “inaccurate” when so many Somalis have gone back to Somalia to join al Shabaab. SCTimes:

ST. JOSEPH TOWNSHIP — A billboard will likely come down in St. Joseph Township after an organization says it includes inaccurate information regarding refugee resettlement.

Catholic Charities of the Diocese of St. Cloud asked Franklin Outdoor Advertising on Tuesday to take down a billboard that reads: “Catholic Charities Resettles Islamists: EVIL or INSANITY?”

That statement is inaccurate, said Beth Cummings, communications and public relations manager at Catholic Charities of the Diocese of St. Cloud. The local organization does not participate in refugee resettlement.

Elsewhere in the state and nation, Catholic Charities is involved in resettlement.

Franklin will make efforts to remove the sign “around tomorrow,” meaning Wednesday, said James Braith, the company’s chief financial officer. It has been up a day or two, he said.

It’s located on the south side of Stearns County Road 75, just west of Stearns County Road 134.

“In this particular instance, we were made aware that it was factually wrong,” he said. “That is the reason that we’re taking it down, not because we believe it to be offensive.”
