Charity and Politics

Charity and Politics - Bill O'Reilly - Townhall Conservative Columnists - Page 1

Charity and politics are individual affairs and really, not even politicians should be 'looked' over the shoulders to see how 'good' or bad they are in their charitable donations.
Charity and politics are an individual affair and what that means is that it is NOT the business of governments or public opinion to check or redistribute or confiscate, or whatever needs it to be called, in the name of charity or politics, because both are duties of the people as individuals.
Political careers are nothing but a huge sign of corruption and charitable taxation an even greater demonstration of the same.

The only specific role of government is to administer common good, not acquire it or sell it, and certainly not to assign it, just administer it and to protect life and freedom, not to give us life or freedom, but to protect us from the ones trying to remove them from us.
When politicians need to build a career in politics or when charity, must be 'channeled' through what politicians decide is versus what is not, charity, then the system is even more corrupted and it has stopped serving its purpose.
Behind all of this is that nefast mandate called the IRS and the income tax illusion. It has been built as a mechanism expressing very good intentions, like the ones paving the road to hell, but it is only serving to produce misery, not just int he pockets of every individual and family but most specially in the souls of the people, whom, in the intimate relation we all have with our creator, need to love our neighbor as much as we love ourselves after, loving God over and above anything and everyone.

Common Good

It is often found commentaries that describe common good as extremes of anarchy, as expressions that on one end present a justification for system interference and on the other as an idea of omnipotence over the people who is typically labeled as mediocre and incapable of deciding on their own about their matters and circumstances. However, common good is divine a mandate we all have as individuals; to aim for and to work towards. It is what defines the relationship between science and reason, because a science where its object is to benefit only the self or to enhance the egos of the recipients is what defies reason and so it segregates itself from faith which is what make us creatures of God with dignity, identity and individuality because care exists for our neighbor and peer. Common good cannot be taking or confiscating from some to give to others or to pretend that by robbing from the ones that have to presumably give to the have not, the issue is fairly addressed. On the contra...

He said this to test Philip, for He himself knew what He was going to do

Gospel text ( Jn  6,1-15) :  Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, near Tiberias, and large crowds followed him because of the miraculous signs they saw when He healed the sick. So He went up into the hills and sat down there with his disciples. Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. Then lifting up his eyes, Jesus saw the crowds that were coming to him and said to Philip, «Where shall we buy bread so that these people may  eat ?». He said this to test Philip, for He himself knew what He was going to do. Philip answered him, «Two hundred  silver coins would not buy enough bread for each of them to have a piece». Then one of Jesus' disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said, «There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?». Jesus said, «Make the people sit down». There was plenty of grass there so the people, about five thousand men, sat down to rest. Jesus then took the loaves, ga...
