You know who does a bang-up job of handing out food in our town? The RCs. Yep, just like Pope Leo says to do, and Pope Francis said before him. And several popes before that, I'm sure, but those two in particular. Those folks are really doing what Jesus said to do.

In one town where I was as a travel nurse, apparently everyone knew that the place to go for food was the big Church of the Brethren which was kind of near the hospital. That church also to the words of Jesus pretty literally when it came to feeding the hungry and clothing the naked, etc. I used to join their women's vigil for peace sometimes if I didn't have to work that day.
