Pope Francis: God will judge people on care for the poor, for the planet | National Catholic Reporter

Excerpt:

Pope Francis told the delegates, "We ought to set the table for all and ask that there be a table for all."

Citing Jesus' explanation of the final judgment in the Gospel of Matthew, which includes the line, "For I was hungry and you gave me food," the pope said, "we must do what we can so that everyone has something to eat. But we must also remind the powerful of the earth that God will call them to judgment one day, and it will be seen if they truly tried to provide food for him in every person, and if they worked so that the environment would not be destroyed, but could produce this food."

Amen.

The issue of income inequality is of tremendous importance to the pope. Obviously, the condition of the poor is paramount. If the weak are indeed being provided for, the issue of inequality is much less of an issue, at least IMHO.
