The recipients range from individual houses of worship to schools to ministries, including that of televangelist Jim Bakker, who was imprisoned in the 1990s after being convicted of mail and wire fraud.

Bakker, whose Missouri-based Morningside Church received between $350,000 and $1 million through the program, was sued by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt (R) earlier this year for falsely claiming products sold through his ministry could cure the coronavirus. More

    I’m no Pastor, but I too have fallen from Grace (I too have been forgiven by the Grace of God).

    What I did not read was how much money went to Muslims, Mormons, 7th day Adventists, Church of Scientology, Satanists and other false cult religions?
