He could always build them new houses off the flooding area with just a small part of the fabulous wealth that he controls.

But he won't. Empty words from an empty head devoid of any reality.

THERE IS NO GOD YOU ARGIE TWAT!

people living in a flood-prone shantytown in Paraguay to stay united

that fine coming from a man who lives in a first rate property,

He could condemn this, and ask the government to clean it up,

but as ChrisR says, he wont.

Far be it from to correct the Pope but I believe the Bible refers to faith without works being dead - not solidarity. Solidarity is saying you support the poor, Works is having to do something, for instance to take all the money from the Vatican Bank and distribute it to regeneration projects in Africa and South America. Solidarity is much easier than Works, because talk is cheap.

Solidarity starts at home...

Why not to sale the vatican, their banks and all assets the churh have to help these poor people?

The Vatican bank alone manages more that $8 billons dollar in assets.
In 2014 a cardinal reported that some 100 millions Euros disappeared from vatican balance sheet wiout even noted.

can someone image the huge profit and money they get from donations?
Seems 100 billons Euros is not too much...
