Most of today’s “poor people” have poor habits

Yes. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t make it a goal to eliminate poverty. That just means we should keep in mind that we’ll never meet that goal completely this side of the Second Coming, though we can make great progress in alleviating it. As that great Catholic social theologian Vince Lombardi once said:

“Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence. I am not remotely interested in just being good.”
