         What, pray tell, does that have to do with Jesus?
         
         Let me answer for you my own question (as you obviously need help with it) - absolutely nothing.
         
         Jesus said, "the poor will always be with you."
         
         He knew that human greed, and the love of money - the pride of man over love of his fellows, was not going away.

            I'm glad you posted that.  You're right.
            
            I saw a documentary the other day about equatorial Guinea, and how the leader of that Country had given his son thousands of acres of government land so he could get rich.  The guy owns a mansion in the USA in Malibu and has lots of fancy cars, lives like a king.  That acreage and money could've been used for the people of Guinea instead of letting them live homeless and in poverty.
            American missionaries do all they can to help the poor in other Countries.  And I imagine other Nations try to help too.  But we can't make the money-hungry leaders of other Nations help their own people.  Even though we do try.  There's an investigation into the situation in Equatorial Guinea since the guy owns property in America too, and I think they've seized some of his automobiles, etc.

                  If that's the Pope, then I guess it's a reasonable comparison.  Except that the Catholic Church does a lot of humanitarian work.
                  Hey, I'm not Catholic.  I'm just an average Christian.  And except for Vatican City, I don't think the Catholic Church is "the government" and therefore isn't legally responsible for the poor.   Morally, maybe all Christian religions are to a degree.  But as I said, the Catholic Church does provide many services to poor people.   And so do most Christian churches and Christian missionaries.

               "In the U.S. hunger and race are related. In 1991 46% of African-American children were chronically hungry, and 40% of Latino children were chronically hungry compared to 16% of white children.
               
               One out of every eight children under the age of twelve in the U.S. goes to bed hungry every night.

      You might find it difficult but Jesus, who was born to the lowest strata of society as an illegitimate child, may not find it so difficult(that is, if he ever lived!).

            Blessings to you my dear friend! When your mother was born you were not here on earth. Won't you believe that your mother delivered you? Time is not a factor in believing the things that God has made.
