San Francisco Catholic church installs watering system to drench homeless people as they sleep [View all]

Matthew 25:40 When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' 40"The King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me


A San Francisco Catholic church has reportedly installed a “watering system” that discourages homeless people by drenching them as they sleep.

Cathedral staff confirmed that the system had been in place for about a year, and that it was intended to discourage homeless people from seeking shelter in the church’s doorway.

“We do the best we can, and supporting the dignity of each person,” Archdiocese spokesperson Chris Lyford said. “But there is only so much you can do.”
