Ah, mind reading at its best. Ignoring the fact that he had people on the ground there doing charity work the very day of the earthquake - he was putting his money where his mouth is. Since Haiti is listed as a "Catholic" country, why were his people there instead of those from the Vatican? Jesus said something about those who 'say' go and be warmed and fed versus those who actually bring the blankets there and distribute the food. Prayer by itself is not "charity", boots on the ground is - check it out in the bible.
The Holy Father actually called for Emergency Help for Devastated Haiti, next time do your reading.
Pope Benedict XVI issued an urgent appeal for help for the people of Haiti at the conclusion of his regular weekly public audience on Wednesday, January 13. He called attention to the “tragic situation” created by a major earthquake that has caused “serious loss of human life, large numbers of homeless and missing people, and vast material damage.” Promising his prayers for the victims and their families, the Pope added: “I appeal to the generosity of all people so that these our brothers and sisters who are experiencing a moment of need and suffering may not lack our concrete solidarity and the effective support of the international community.” He said that Catholic charities would respond as quickly and generously as possible.
Haiti’s capital, Port au Prince, was devastated by the earthquake, which measured 7.0 on the Richter scale. Thousands of people are feared dead, hundreds of buildings destroyed, and as many as 3 million people in need of emergency relief. Haiti is the most impoverished country in the Western hemisphere, and the slum outside Port au Prince, Citi Soleil, is home to tens of thousands of people already living in dire poverty.
