[Wonder Warthog]

"However, Christ did not preach about soup kitchens or welfare rolls His message was about salvation of the soul not these flesh bodies."

He also had a few words to say about caring for our neighbors (especially the poorer ones), and that includes in this world.

[Just mythoughts]

True we are to have charity = giving but that does not mean we are to make them wards of the state to gain power.

The caring was also about spiritual food as He said the poor would always be among us. He also said that to fear NOT them who can kill the body but He who could destroy both the soul and body in hell.
