Philanthropy is all find and dandy (for what its worth). What does it profit a man if they gain the world but lose their soul? I don’t think that the matter having the greatest gravity is the degree or magnitude of one’s altruism, philanthropy or humanitarianism.
Albert Schwizer is probably a drop in the bucket with regards to what the RCC has accomplished. However, whatever Schwizer’s altruism and philanthropy accomlished in this world, I have no clue what that’s doing for him in the next. Nevertheless, based on what I know about the theology that Schweizer espoused, and depending on your beliefs concerning salvation, you might agree with me that presently he’s not in a very happy place at all.
So I don’t see what point it is that you’re belaboring.
I am not talking about salvation. I am talking about good works. Period.
And *sigh* yes, I know that good works do not earn salvation. I never said they did.

Thanks. You said it much better than I.
