To TheDear Editor ,
I refer to the editorial "The Pope on Panhandling : Give Without Worry" ( Editorial March 3).ThisThe article deals with the question: how should we respond tothea needy person who asks for help?
I would like to challengethePope Francis' perspective. Offering money is not the appropriate thing to do, because we cannot predictin which wayhowthisa needy person will spend the money. He/She might buy alcohol or drugs, which is dangerous. Therefore I believe that the right thing to do is to buy thenecessary stuffessentials like food, clothing and so on.
