Christianityandthe ProblemofPoverty.

AccordingtoChristianteaching, povertyisaphysicalevilwhich,like alltheothers,isderivedfrommoral evil. earepoorbecausewehave sinnedinAdam-andfarmorebecausewesindailyourselves.Moral evil,freelywroughtbyman,isnot thesolebutitistheprincipalcause ofhumanpoverty,afactthatisnot rememberedto-daywhenpassion seekstodestroytheconceptionof moralevil,whichneverthelesslives, anddisturbsusandeverraisesits voiceimperiousllyinour Thefactisbeyondquestionandthe verypoorthemselvesunconsciously confessit.Duringmysacerdotal andepiscopalministryIhavecome intocontactwithgreatnumbersof thepoorandwhatIhaveobserved isthatthosewhoaremostpoorand suffermostfromtheirpovertyare notthechildrenofthepoor,butthe childrenoftherichandwell-to-du whohavefallenintopoverty.One musthavelostallsenseandreason nottobe,awarethatimprovidence, wastefulness,inordinatedesireofsensualpleasures,extravag'nees,gambling,vaniteeidleness,strikes,the habitofgivingwaytothepassions insteadofcombatingthem,areall sourcesofpovertyandunhappiness.

Povertymustalsobeconsidered fromthehistoricalstandpoint.Everyhistoryatteststhatpovertyhas neverbeenabsentfromtheworld. Amongthesavagesnearlyallare poortheancientcivilizations,even themostrefinedofthemasthe GreekandtheRoman,hadimmense numbersofpoor. Ardalmostal wayspoverty,evenamongtheGreeks
