Jesus commanded His followers to feed the hungry, clothe the poor, etc. It's not a responsibility that is to be foisted off on to the government.
And yet too many Catholics vote democratic because the dems are *for the poor* (their words, not mine), which is them abdicating their own responsibility as believers.
If the Church is concerned about social welfare, then they need to do it themselves because it's THEIR job, not the government's.
Sadly, what was the Church’s responsibility was taken away by the government.
