The church didn’t make up anything

Of course they did. The Cuban government never said, or implied, or suggested, or hinted, that they would steal children from families. This was a 100% dishonest scare-story that was completely invented as propaganda by the US, Spain and the Church.

"Woooaaaa, Evil Commies are COMING TO STEAL YOUR KIDS!!!"

They weren’t false pretenses

Even the pro-US, anti-Castro sources have to admit the basic facts that children were sent away from their families for no good reason. That many thousands of them were sent to juvenile homes, bounced from family to family, and had a terrible time. And that's the sources that support the operation.
