When I feed the hungry, they call me a saint. When I ask why people are hungry, they call me a Communist.
- Hélder Câmara, Brazilian archbishop and Servant of God, as quoted in Peace Behind Bars: A Peacemaking Priest's Journal from Jail (1995) by John Dear.
#catholic#tower of babble#quote#helder camara#Hélder Câmara#Hélder Câmara my beloved. I need to read more of his writing.#sorry I saw some Catholic Blogs being very….petty about politics.#I’m no communist myself but if your faith in god doesn’t transcend political structures then you need more faith.#I’m no hardcore capitalist either but that doesn’t stop me from sympathizing with the suffering of people who are capitalists and believe#in the supremacy of that power structure. the same way our faith should extend to pagans and heretics and nonbelievers.#they are all your family in Christ made in God’s divine image whether you like it or not. agree with them or not.#stop finding superiority over others in what you perceive to be their weaknesses and naivety. it’s not a good look even IF you’re right.
