"When loaves are more valued than Divine Power which multiplied them: when streams are more admired than the fountains that produced them, mankind will accept any kind of a king that promises bread and plenty. Nor let it be forgotten that He Who promised the spiritual did not deny bread to the poor. Our hopes and our liberties are sold too cheap when they are bartered away to him who feeds the body and leaves the soul naked. This is the problem: The whole world is dying of hunger -- the Eastern World is dying of hunger of body: the Western World is dying of hunger of soul. The first will be fed, but not by those who hate liberty when they give them flour; the Western World will be saved by feeding the East while recognizing their own hunger of the Spirit and seeking again the true King of Hearts Who gives ‘The Bread of Life’." Archbishop Fulton Sheen
