The Catholic Church has Corporal Works of Mercy (feed, drink, shelter, clothe, care for sick, help imprisoned, and bury the dead) and as good Christians we should do all of the above.
It is not a SIN to have money. YOU have worked for it.
Just don't lose sight of how blessed you are to have it and do things for others when possible. That's what I do.

For the Christian who has money, the challenge is to live a life of sacrifice and not livin large heling your church and the poor.
For the Christian that doesnt have money, he is to be content with what he has.
For anybody else, who cares because theyre not going to Heaven anyway........ LIVE IT UP!

If they can make a profit and get out of poverty more power to them. They shouldn't be making a profit by just stealing other peoples hard earned cash.

One would think so Jesus considering that the bible (well written by the way) has over 2200 references on the need to help the poor.

I don't quite understand your question and apparently since you asked it twice neither do many others. I think we should all share our wealth to a certain degree and to the extent to which we feel moved to do so. i don't know though if this is really what you are asking.

Sometimes, but never under government coercion.
