I know I'm missing something here, but can someone tell me how this organization (not actually affiliated with the church) is spending almost 10 million dollars when it hadn't raised much of anything when this report was done? And has never raised more than 500k previously?
Is there another shell in their structure that's flush? Could it be because Trump is running against a Catholic, this group got some unprecedented cash infusion? I won't speculate from where, but we all know there was a boatload of suspicious cash going to PACs in 2016.

I looked at all of these. I know there's probably a non-scandalous answer here, but I can't find it.

Obviously, my first reaction was 10 million isn't a whole lot to the church, but it's pretty clearly not funded by or affiliated with the church.

They don't even have a physical address. What's the deal?
I went back to look at 2016 to see if they did any big ad buys and I couldn't find any stories that indicated such, but I did find this gem where they took their Trump lead from Jerry Falwell Jr.
It was a long way from May to September. Good thing they had Jerry Falwell Jr for moral guidance.
