I found this comment on the web site "www.one.org" "Only two questions about global poverty have been asked in the history of modern presidential debates - a shockingly low figure. In 2008, voters need to know what Barack Obama and John McCain will do to end the most extreme suffering in our increasingly interconnected wold. You can help make sure that changes, by signing our petition to debate moderator Jim Lehrer urging him to ask "Just ONE Question" on global poverty at the first presidential debate, September 26th in Oxford, Mississippi." "Dear Mr. Jim Lehrer, At the presidential debate, please ask John McCain and Barack Obama just ONE question about their plans to fight global poverty." I personally can take some action about global poverty by using this site as a starter for more discussion. Hope others will too.

Hope you'll still join the conversation on the 15th. Again, we're using the book as a springboard not as an endorsement of any particular theology. The goal is to talk about poverty, what it means from a faith perspective, and how we can respond. Great, Kelly! Glad you can join us. :) Thanks, Augustine.

I've read his response to the Vatican and he seemed pretty much to idolize material poverty, much like the title of this book. As a Brazilian myself, I confess to lack patience with Liberation Theology, especially because once homilies became political propaganda for the now governing Socialist party, the same one which pushed to legalize research on embryos, gay "marriage" and abortion, emptied the Church to the Pentecostal churches, decimating the ratio of Catholics every decade: from 90% in the 70's down to 70% in the 90's. May St. Francis pray for us. Dear Sr. Julie,
