Hi guys,
- Do Catholics believe we should live off the bare minimum and give
the rest of our money to the poor, or
- Is it OK to be wealthy,
as long as God is first in our lives and we donate plenty of money to
the needy?

Hi Kevin,
Catholics believe in both practices. God has a call
for each person. We should have the spirit of poverty,
but if God grants us wealth, we should use it for good.
- Some are called to live evangelical poverty.
- Some are called
to live detachment and purity of heart in the midst of worldly wealth well
used.
Hope this helps,
Mary Ann
