What every impoverished third worlder needs...
Well the LDS Church does do a great deal of charitable work among the impoverished of Latin America including by the way giving interest free education loans to many to get college and technical training. But the temples are for bringing people closer to God. All people, rich or poor, bond or free, need that—more frankly than the comforts of life. Why would the impoverished be in any less need of spiritual things than of worldy things? Why would that be of any less benefit to them? Seems like something a liberal would say. Do you condemn church building by other religions in Latin America including Catholic cathedrals? Most LDS Temples these days are as small as an average sized church building.
