"If we don't love the poor, and do all we can to improve their lot, we're going to go to Hell," Philadelphia's Archbishop Chaput said in a 2011 interview. In an e-book, New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan repeated the line, seeing it as a point of continuity between Pope Benedict XVI and his successor.

Absent other context in the interview, and of course it's possible that such context exists, it appears as though the Archbishop could stand to be reminded of Ephesians 2:8-9. These words smack of works-based salvation to me.

I think he's referring to Matthew 25:31-46, Luke 16:19-31, and so on.
