"When I give food to the poor, I'm called a saint. When I ask why they are poor, I'm called a communist." -Archbishop Dom Helder Camara.

Great quote from Camara. I'd never heard it, thank you for bringing it to my attention.
ReplyDeleteThe simple answer to the simple question: no one can be rich unless some are poor.
