While there are a few minor points he makes that are worthy, there is one glaring error. The message of not feeling a need to eradicate poverty, is coming from a minister of a fabulously wealthy church.

For liberals, eradicating poverty can mean eradicating poor people themselves— abortion, euthanasia.

For the Church, the challenge is to love and assist poor people using our own individual bodies and souls to assist their individual bodies and souls— not a faceless program or a mechanical vending machine dispensing food and supplies to a nameless horde.

I think that is how we help the poor as people but avoid the liberal focus on sterilely, modernly, eradicating a social problem.
