The Catholic teaching on wealth and poverty aims to teach people about the responsibilities of the rich, to the needs of the poor. The Old Testament teaches that no one has power over anybody. In old testament times the gap between the rich and poor was increasing and people forgot about god’s teaching, Isaiah stated that if people wanted to come close to god they must help oppressed, he said to share everything the rich had with the poor. Later on in the new Testament Jesus taught the parable of the sheep and the goat he said ,’whatever you do for the least of my brothers you do for me’ meaning whatever you do for the lowest of the people you are doing for Jesus.
