growing up in a catholic republican household is weird. as a kid i was taught to “love thy neighbor” and “treat others the way you’d want to be treated”. when it’s time to learn abt politics its all of a sudden “the poor need to help themselves”

I remember thinking handouts would genuinely make people more lazy. If I had my living expenses paid, I would still be working because I want to make a better life for myself, my family and any future kids.

As a confirmed catholic, I am the same way. Jesus does not contradict himself. His greatest teaching was to help the less fortunate. If u think any of his other words contradict that, u are not the godly person u think you are. What a person “deserves” goes beyond just death. No one deserves death? That’s true but no one deserves to be ostracized or left helpless either and that is what I live by
