Well, the New York City Cardinal has himself a dilemma. Seems he has gone into an expensive overhaul of St. Patrick's Cathedral, my favorite church. It is being paid for by rich people, not poor people. The original was built by the poor working Irish. Not so now. But, the pope is not crazy about how a lot of these rich people became rich. This makes the rich unhappy. They love popes who focus on sex and heresy. They don't care for one who focuses on economics, environment, and immigration. So the Cardinal tries to soften up what the Pope said about capitalism and its so called trickle down effect. My point is not that the pope is right or wrong. My point is, why did the Cardinal not soften up the statements of the previous two popes? A lot of stuff comes down to $$$. Just sayin'

Those poor who industrially built the church probably also build lives that made them "better off." Those poor working Irish are probably among the rich who are supporting the restoration. It's not about how much you have or don't have. It's about what you do with it and how you treat those around you.
