The church has helped Afghanistan for years

Catholics were and remain pivotal in helping many Afghans over the last two decades without ever infringing on their beliefs. These men and women were a force for good, helping the poor and doing work with help from charitable donations from many in the U.S. and the rest of the West. This remains a largely untold story by the mainstream press over the years and now that Afghanistan has succumbed to Taliban rule once again. [1]
