There is a real problem with the amount that some have in comparison with
the amount that others have. It is a problem when some are living in lavish
excess and others in the abhorrent squalor. I suppose you could say that
they are in favor of sharing the wealth. ... The voice of religion needs to
have a place at the cultural table when considering matters of economics.
There is something deep-seeded about religions (most of them) that pulls
people to consider again and again the least of society and to ask how
certain policies and practices are effecting them. So it is economic as
well as political, but that is no surprise.
