Is the Vatican doing all it can to alleviate world hunger and poverty?

And the most powerful tool the Church has in alleviating world hunger is prayer.

I have full confidence that the Vatican is using that tool to the utmost. It is the rest of our secular culture that is failing at that.

Uh. The Vatican already does this.

I suspect you need to research what the Church actually does for the poor before you cast aspersion and state they need to do “more”.
 
You may donate to Peter’s Pence to help the Vatican alleviate hunger and poverty. The money goes directly to the Vatican and is used for philanthropic efforts.
 
This thread has been dormant for a considerable period. With rare exceptions, reviving threads after a protracted period of inactivity is discouraged because:
  • the issues that spurred them are often no longer “hot” or current topics, explaining why thread activity ceased originally.
  • posters originally involved in the discussion are sometimes no longer active on the forum and, therefore, unavailable to reply to comments added to the thread.
Our experience suggests that, when a topic merits revival, it is best accomplished by initiating a new thread that draws on recent events and can be posted to contemporaneously. This eliminates the baggage of folks being frustrated by asking and not receiving responses to issues raised in early posts (because the new poster didn’t notice that the post he was responding to was made a long time ago).

Posters are very welcome to open a new thread on the subject or any other topic, as well as to actively participate in the myriad active threads in the fora.
