And you might ask, why would the government pay money to Catholic bishops?
Answer: to buy them off. Conciliar Catholic bishops are "owned" by the JWO powers that be. If you recall, TPTB got the US bishops to cave almost before anyone else to shut their churches down, and that shutdown resulted in a loss of collection revenue. So they had to be incentivized to go along with it, and then later to shill for the jab.
Conciliar Catholic bishops are on the Jєω World Order payroll ... and openly so.
