Poverty is ended through capitalism. The creation of new wealth requires capital investment.

Just what I’m saying. I’m not a Bible
scholar but Jesus did say that.
There’s a difference between the biblical commandment to give to the poor and godless state agents stealing
from the rich but use it to oppress
the poor. And control the masses.
That’s demonic.

On that note, from last year. The article is behind a paywall, but you get the first 2 paragraphs for free. And they say it all...

Why so many non-religious Europeans pay church taxes

We ARE Ending Poverty. Global Extreme Poverty has dropped to 10%.

When I was a boy, it was at 60%!!

...

And that was done with hard work, research, investment and rewarding those who are successful, not redistribution.

The rich have been doing a much better job eliminating poverty than the Pope has been doing eliminating pederasty among priests.

I was educated by Jesuits and I will always be grateful to them for teaching me how to think (and how to drink) but the man is delusional, an idiot, or both.

I am afraid that as a liberal his mind has been affected. Pray for him and for the Church.

Hard to take the Pope seriously while there are gold faucets in the Vatican’s bathroom.

“The Rich can end Poverty”, Pope Francis says.

Christ said “The poor ye will always have with you”.

The Rich cannot end poverty, because poverty isn’t a set point. Poverty will be proclaimed by those that have one less thing than someone else. There will always be poor, because life isn’t fair, or equal.

Socialism isn’t in the bible. Socialism is of this world, not the next.

Ah but the Vatican banking scandals and no doubt ongoing corruption there are flies in the ointment as far as that goes. Lots of wealth and power to be had in the hierarchy there.

Will someone tell the Pope that he could start by coughing up some of that WEALTH the Catholic church and the Vatican control.

*(Catholic Church is the largest and topmost Christian organization which has an estimated wealth of more than $30 billion.)
