If I hear one more bishop speak about the "poor", I will scream. If you live in Obama's version of the US, there is no need to be poor. The handouts are flowing to everyone, including "Obama" phones (I don't even have a cell phone but am paying for those of the "poor"). Despite all the give aways, We've all seen the abuse of these gifts, paid for with our hard earned taxes - people cashing in food stamps for facials, alcohol, stereos and even elective surgery. What will it take to wake up these bishops?!

I don't know. I may be wrong, but this oversolicitous attitude seems more involved with vanity than sympathy.

Oy. I worded that badly. I meant that the attitude of the bishops is oversolicitous and vain.

No criticism of you, NYer. I agree with your post.
