"Charity is reaching into one's own pockets to assist his fellow man in need. Reaching into someone else's pocket to assist one's fellow man hardly qualifies as charity. When done privately, we deem it theft, and the individual risks jail time."

The union of a sect within itself is a pitiful charity; it's no  concord of Christians, but a conspiracy against Christ; and they  that love one another for their opinionative concurrence, love  for their own sakes, not their Lord's.
