Or should I say the cathedral of generosity? Of compassion, or community, or caritas? It comes to the same thing. There are people who need help. There are people who deny it, saying that God helps those who help themselves and the poor and the unemployed are merely shiftless slackers sponging on a nanny government. There are people who don’t deny poverty, but they don’t want to know about it because it’s all so terrible and what can you do? And then there are people who help.
