Subsidiarity is seeking assistance at the lowest level. Neighbor, community in your block, Caritas fund at local church, St. Vincent de Paul Society in your area, Knights of Columbus, Young Ladies Institute and so on. Once a person has exhausted all these private sources to no avail -- then they can investigate city resources, county resources, regional resources.
Have I mentioned big federal government yet? No.

Redistribution of wealth is forced theft.
He he had meant charity, he would have said charity (Which I am all for).
Marxism is not compatible with Christianity
I read a smattering of the articles and stand by my original statement. This pope is not Catholic. Pushing for state redistribution of wealth is not only marxist but is also a violation of subsidiarity.
"Salvation", you're such a boot-licker for the organization that you are now twisting subsidiarity - a wonderful and forgotten concept in Catholicism - into something it NEVER was - forced redistribution by government.
People like you are EXACTLY why I'm no longer Catholic.
