Always after a Yes or No answer
The writings of Baha’u’llah show us how to acheive the eradication of the Extremes of Wealth and Poverty as we move towards the unity of man and the Lesser Peace, why? As we rejected the Most Great Peace.
Now as we acheive the destined spiritual unity, the balance of poverty against wealth will be closer than if we do not acheive a spiritual unity.

Yes or No Tony. Come now.
A more nuanced clarification is here:
Our world demands of all government leaders a will which is effective, practical and constant, concrete steps and immediate measures for preserving and improving the natural environment,” he said.
Doing this will help put an end to various forms social and economic exclusion, along with their “baneful consequences” such as human and organ trafficking, the drug and weapons trade, terrorism and organized crime.
“Such is the magnitude of these situations and their toll in innocent lives, that we must avoid every temptation to fall into a declarationist nominalism which would assuage our consciences.”
Francis cautioned against the risk of both being content with the drafting of a list of good proposals and goals, as well as thinking that a single “theoretical and aprioristic solution” will answer all challenges.
He said that human development and dignity can’t be imposed, but must naturally be built up by each individual and family, leading to the development of other areas of life such as communities, towns, cities, schools and businesses.
Education, particularly for girls, which is excluded in some countries, is also a fundamental right which must be upheld, the Pope said. He drew special attention to the right of the family to education their own children, as well as the right of churches and social groups to support and help families.
Government leaders, he said, “must do everything possible to ensure that all can have the minimum spiritual and material means needed to live in dignity and to create and support a family, which is the primary cell of any social development.”
Echoing his speech to popular movements while in Bolivia July 9, Francis said that this minimum has three names: “lodging, labour and land,” and one spiritual name: “spiritual freedom, which includes religious freedom, the right to education and other civil rights.”
The best indication the implementation of the new development agenda will be effective, he said, will be if every person has access to the basic and fundamental material and spiritual goods, such as housing, work, food and water, religious and spiritual freedom, and education…- Pope Francis
Note: Religious freedom for example.
