From the Pope that brought you “who am I to Judge?”:

“Damned are those who don’t care for the poor and homeless”

Now, traditionally one would think that caring for the poor and homeless would be one of those ‘corporal works of mercy’.  However, given this Pontiff has consistantly obfuscated our duties to the spiritual works of mercy, one must ask him about the internal logic.

So we are “not to judge” those who persist in public sins; sins that cry out to heaven for vengance, we are not supposed to say “thou shalt not”, but in this case we are supposed to say “thou shalt not” (ignore the plight of the poor)?

How can he expect people to take thunderous sermons from the pulpit seriously on these issues when he has gone out of his way to take the spine out of Catholic teaching on others?  Why judge a man who fails to give alms when you can’t even tell him to stop sleeping with someone who is not his wife?
