“I am for doing good to the poor, but…I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it.

We’re not going to change that, attempting to will just lead us into greater rebellion against God.

P.S. Wrong post try–“Thou Must Believe In Global Warming…Or Else!”
The Catholic Church isn’t really bible thumpers. They only read the New Testament and only certain parts of it. In all the years in Parochial school, I don’t think anyone mentioned the bible.
