On a metaphorical level Dr. Moses Coady, being Roman Catholic, felt that there was hope for those who were in an economic "purgatory" and he began the amazing Antigonish Movement that has transformed many many lives!
I referred to what he accomplished in one of my blogs:
Combat Climate Change by Turning Deserts Green!
I Dennis Tate, am extremely interested in conversion to Catholicism but my motives are NOT entirely altruistic. In my area Dr. Moses Coady, Fr. Jimmy Thompkins with their friends and followers initiated the Antigonish Movement which has transformed not only the local economy here in rural Nova Scotia, but has grown to influence projects in one hundred and twenty nations.

I feel that Dr. Moses Coady was so powerfully guided by the Ruach ha Kodesh/The Holy Spirit that it is legitimate to compare him with the ancient prophet Elijah. In my opinion, Dr. Coady has accomplished a tremendous amount even the economic aspect of the restoration of the tribes of Israel.
Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, Ecclesiasticus Chapter 48
I may be wrong in this assertion but over the past decade or so I have noticed over and over again that our opinions regarding politics and economics are astonishingly similar to our own ideas regarding philosophy and theology. Those of us who feel that God has a simple plan, that the souls of the dead are either saved or lost, either in heaven or in hell often seem content to be satisfied with a world in which a minority are spectacularly wealthy while the vast majority of humanity is forced to scrounge for a pathetic living. Dr. Moses Coady felt that there was some glimmer of real hope for the people who were in something of an economic purgatory. His confidence in their ability to be raised up to a higher level was instrumental in his being able to help so many thousand and now millions of poor people to transform their lives.

Antigonish Movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
..."As educators and priests, the leaders of the Antigonish Movement were primarily
concerned with human and spiritual development. The title of Moses Coadys only
book Masters of Their Own Destiny encapsulates this desire to see ordinary
Nova Scotians achieve economic and social freedom."
(Wikipedia)"Ordinary Nova
Scotians he argued, had only themselves to blame for their poverty and vulnerability. They had permitted money and
business to become mysterious forces outside of their control. Fishers and
farmers for example, were exploited by marketing middlemen. Everyone was
exploited by moneylenders. If they took the time to understand their
circumstances and took the risks of co-operative action, they could achieve
economic security and on that foundation greater freedom and self-realization."

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, Ecclesiasticus Chapter 48
"..."And Elias the prophet stood up, as a fire, and his word burnt like a torch.
(Ecclesiasticus 48:1,10 DRBO)"Who art registered in the judgments of times to appease the wrath of the
Lord, to reconcile the heart of the father to the son, and to restore the tribes
of Jacob."
