Word of the Day: Poverty of Dispossession
POVERTY OF DISPOSSESSION. The complete renunciation of ownership and
further acquisition of material possessions. The biblical foundation for such
poverty is the declaration of Christ to the rich young man: "If you wish
to be perfect, go and sell what you own and give the money to the poor, and
you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me" (Matthew 19:21).

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
