[Magdalen] Professional panhandlers; was Loaned out.

I once heard an address where one of the points made was that the right
LOVES all that we do to help the poor and destitute on the street. After
all, if we do anything at all, it's that much less need, and they are just
fine with that. Let the liberals dig into their pockets, so we don't have
to.

I remember when the bishop was visiting, he was chatting during dinner.
 "You know, if it were not for what we and the RCC do, all of New York City
would just go down."

Yep. All that is fine with the right. Just fine.
