Thanks for the elegant piece of ex cathedra.

I was, of course, working from a Dead Sea scroll, not the corrupt and selective post-Council of Trent versions that you cite.

But the point was that - with a relative definition of poverty - the poor must be always with us, however rich they become. One does not need to be the Son of God to spot that.

I was being ironic, not literal. You're not Amercian behind that pseudonym, are you?
