You’re right. His grand pronouncements aren’t clear, nor do they clarify.
It's our choice. I believe God wants us to love God, but that only freely given love, from one’s own heart, given as one’s individual free choice, is true love.
My point being that in my view God has given us the act of charity as a way of showing love, and charity is especially meaningful because it is a choice of each of us as individuals to be charitable. Given that choice, many are charitable, and the Church's collections each Sunday reflect that. The money and aid that flows into countries where natural or man-made disaster strikes is another example of that charity.
On the other hand, forced ‘redistribution’ of wealth is not charity, and it is not consistent with God's embracing free will.
On a separate and pragmatic note, it seems to me that ‘fairness’ is much more likely to be achieved when individuals, acting from their hearts and consciences, decide who to give charity to, and to who in their view are most needy. Why should we trust governments, ALL of which are peppered with self-interested narcissists and corruption, to do better than we as individuals can do.
