We have a dumb-as-post permanent deacon whose day it was to preach (something we all dread).
He talked about the evil of our “capitalist system” that praises people like Bill Gates but ignores the “single mother.”
Aside front the fact that this deacon is dumb by nature, the clergy as a whole are undereducated and dim.
It’s fine for Bill Gates to be rich - his product changad life in our world. It’s not fine for Bill Gates to have his foundation promote abortion worldwide.
And as for the single mother, what happened to the child’s father? Did he abandon the family or was she sleeping with him without being married to him...letting him use her, in other words. And shouldn’t the Church oppose this? Call men to be responsible and women not to let themselves be used?
But that might require too much knowledge of the Faith.
Have you ever thought that the Deacon you condemn and insult had a point?
We do over celebrate success of rich men. What about the struggling widow or single mother?
There is a person who has a hard cross to bear.
Remember, as Catholics it is the cross that you carry that is more virtuous than your bank account.
