CNS STORY: Charity is essential part of Christian witness, pope says

CNS STORY: Charity is essential part of Christian witness, pope says: "Charity belongs to the very nature of the church,' the pope said Nov. 13 during a meeting with members of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum, the Vatican office that promotes and coordinates Catholic charitable giving and distributes the money the pope designates for charity.

Pope Benedict thanked Catholics all over the world who generously give their time, their resources and their energy 'to witness to the love of Christ, the Good Samaritan,' who attends to those who are physically or spiritually needy."
