“The free enterprise concept inherent in the economic model of capitalism should mean common people, or lower and middle class wage-earners, have greater potential to rise up and gain financial independence.

But when you do, you give meaning and provide soul to the concept of community...and develop a sense of purpose to something greater than one's self.” GivingDoeSoulSelfFactsAmericaPurposeCommunityPoorGreaterComfortOffersConceptsLonelyConstitutionHungryClothingsShelterHomelessOrdinances Author:Pope Paul VI

“Nothing worthy can be built on a neglect of higher meanings and on a relativistic view of concepts and culture as a whole.
