See how the Christians...
In the first centuries of Christianity the hungry were fed at a personal sacrifice, the naked were clothed at a personal sacrifice, the homeless were sheltered at a personal sacrifice…And the pagans used to say about the Christians, “See how they love each other.” In our own day the poor are no longer fed, clothed and sheltered at a personal sacrifice, but at the expense of the taxpayers. And because of this the pagans say about Christians, “See how they pass the buck.”
- Peter Maurin, co-founder of the Catholic Worker Movement
