you may justify it to yourself that way. I would not want to face the Lord and tell Him I had kept vast treasure hidden away and safe while His people lived in abject poverty. This is one of those we will have to agree to disagree on.
As stated the treasures are for everyone and future generations.
I am tired of this argument too. The Catholic Church does more charitable work (feeding, educating, providing medical care, etc) than any other organization on the planet. These vomments aren’t about concern for the poor, it’s about stripping bate the Church and laying it low.
