Christian Charity starts at home

Hello everybody, I am placing fingertips to keyboard today to open a discussion with yourselves on the topic of ‘Christian Charity’….

Is Christian charity just a form of alms giving? (giving away money to the poor) Would this include giving away Maltese public funds (generally accumulated by taxes and NI contributions – from the worker/professional basically the citizen) towards the daily maintenance of ? illegal immigrants? Is that Christian Charity?

Is it Christian Charity to save all the illegal immigrants who set sail towards Malta ?  is it Christian Charity to be forced by the EU to keep them here? (Two interesting points can be further contemplated, the first being that if other or more illegal immigrants die at sea in Malta’s search and rescue area, does Malta risk loosing this SAR area to the EU or to North African countries? The second point worth mentioning, is that if the illegal immigrants in Malta are given the right to vote in the local elections, would the EU permit them to own a Maltese passport (or EU foreign) and leave this Island at will? or would they vote here in Malta and be restrained by EU law to live here?

Christian Charity starts at home. Actually Christian Charity means ‘love of God’ – ‘alms giving’ is altogether different, and even in that case when one gives money or material wealth to the poor it should be done in secret, for Scripture says – “the left hand should not know what the right hand is doing” (Matthew 6.3)- However this surely does not apply to government funds, tax and NI contributions. Those funds belong to the people of Malta and as such any ‘Social Justice’ organisation has no right to lobby the government on the use of such funds – for such belongs to the people.

The fruit of Christian Charity (or rather the warped view of christian charity as seen by certain Maltese Christians) is the following :-

At least one thing is sure – these people know how to pray while us Maltese Christians (including myself) have fallen away from the road of Faith into the side-streets of lukewarmness, unbelief, love of money and prestige and the many variagated forms of drunkenness and lust!!!

African migrant on board Pinar E has died of meningitis – our health system barely works for the local population, we must embrace ourselves for greater trouble…

Rai News have reported that a 26-year-old Eritrean immigrant, who was on board the Turkish ship Pinar E, has died of meningitis.

The Turkish ship Pinar E had been authorized to berth at Porto Empedocle in Agrigento Sicily after a diplomatic dispute between Italy and Malta on who was supposed to accept the 140 immigrants on board the ship.

The young African had been taken to Sant’Elia Hospital in Caltanisetta last Wednesday where he was diagnosed with meningitis. Another passenger on board the same ship, a 23-year-old Ghanian is also suffering from the same disease and is still being held in the unit of infectious diseases of the Sant’ Elia hospital. However, the Ghanian is recovering well.
