What is needed is an honestly Christian belief system, that can make good use of God’s grace to transcend poverty. But if someone won’t believe it’s there, he or she can’t use it.
We already have one and it's the only One that Jesus Christ established: the Catholic Church. And Jesus Christ, Himself, said the poor will always be amongst us.
This socialist talk, of "transcending poverty" is getting tiresome, whether it's from Bergoglio, Obama, Hillary on down.
