Inoffensive reminder of the value of charity from Pope Benedict XVI. The most political it gets is how it reminds people that there's a need for charity beyond what the government does (e.g., Benedict shows why Marxists shouldn't rely on distribution solely from the government, but I wish he had also reminded wealthy Americans not to be charitable solely for the purposes of tax deductions). Mostly, it's not about politics, and it focuses on why quiet, private charity brings people closer to God, and that focus on privacy seems especially poignant from Pope Benedict XVI.
