The one thing Pope Francis has that Bill Gates doesn't

	Facebook Twitter Newsletters Email Video News Catholic Life Shopping Saints Bible Prayers Mary Pope Francis has what Gates is missing. Bill Gates says there will be no more poor countries by 2035. If he's talking about absolute poverty, the inability of people to eat, enjoy access to basic sanitation and healthcare, he may be right. At the pace the world is moving, it's reasonable to expect these improvements will come within the next 20 years. However, Bill Gates for all of his intellect and wealth, is missing an important part of the picture. Pope Francis explained to us that there are two kinds of poverty. There's absolute poverty, the kind Bill Gates discussed, and there's relative poverty. Relative poverty has to do with how the world's wealth is distributed. We may eliminate starvation and death from preventable diseases by 2035, but until now there has been no plan, from Gates or anyone else in the secular realm, to ensure those same people have access to moral education and opportunity, which are the only cures to relative poverty.
