My "beef" here is with that bishop. Don't know his religion, but many churches are pretty wealthy. Isn't the international Catholic church wealthier than most governments in the world?

Maybe they need to do a better job of disseminating it in educating their "flock" to enable them to rise above their station of birth with education to make them employable in higher paying jobs.

Second would be in changing the attitudes and laws of the nations keeping people in the same social level into which they are born, as a means of controlling who may gain wealth.

In the USA, IMO, that would translate into teaching in school, since all too often there is little or no such teaching in homes, that it is vital to get an education, a job, a marriage, and children in that order, and when one has the finances to properly care for them.

A good work ethic is a fast disappearing 'commodity', even in our more rural areas in the USA.

The environmental extremists promoting total "saving" of the environment, are more interested in "preservation" as a means of controlling land use, when judicious, conserving, beneficial uses of the Rain Forest, and all land would serve humanity and the land better, IMO. We have seen demonstrations that too much rest of land is harmful, and that use and rest periods properly managed according to the needs of the land and crops, both naturally ocurring and planted, is best for the land.
