BackTrack – Amos – Wealth & Coveting
Amos is a prophet who uses his voice for the poor, used, and overlooked. He demonstrates that God cares about justice and gives us the hope of a coming King and Edenic Kingdom that will ultimately remedy the human problem.

I think a better response from the Pope regarding why God allows 12 year old girls to be homeless and trafficked would have been that the Christians have become apathetic. He could have continued stating that although the Catholic Church has billions/possibly trillions of dollars in finance, its wealth is not being spent on stopping homelessness nor trafficking. That the Vatican’s funds are being coveted and its money has taken precedence over the well being of others.
