Vom Hilfswerk zur politischen NGO

Die beiden großen christlichen Kirchen verleihen ihren Hilfswerken Brot für die Welt und Misereor Seriosität und moralische Autorität. Ihr Geld stammt jedoch nur zu einem sehr geringen Teil aus kirchlichen Quellen. Mehr als die Hälfte des Budget stammt Jahr für Jahr von deutschen Steuerzahlern, die damit zu großen Teilen ideologische Projekte finanzieren, deren Ausrichtung sich […]
