“When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.” -Hélder Câmara Hélder Câmara (1909 – 1999) was a Brazilian Catholic Archbishop from 1964 to 1985, during the military regime of the country. Câmara was an advocate of liberation theology, and devoted his efforts to assisting the urban poor. In 1959, he established the Banco da Providência in Rio de Janeiro to help low-income individuals receive loans. #heldercamara #socialprotection #progressivethinking #quotes #qotd #philosophy (at Helsinki) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGkQ6JCHAaq/?igshid=1ecaismlmo9ju
