	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Poverty
		It is the apostolic poverty of the Christian religion which is practised in the highest degree by missionaries in pagan countries, and to a certain degree by all priests: all these voluntarily give up certain possessions and advantages in order to devote themselves entirely to the service of God.
		Voluntary poverty is the object of one of the evangelical counsels.
		The vow of poverty is ordinarily attached to a religious profession; a person may however bind himself to a modest and frugal life, or even to follow the direction of an adviser in the use of his property.

		Poverty is bad and we post-moderns know that most of our task apostolically is to confront poverty in the world.
		So when we say poverty that takes in a whole lot of people and groups of people who are set aside by the dominant culture, and they become the poor in one way or another.
		Apostolic poverty was at the heart of this – men and women who gave it all up for the sake of being with and serving the poor, as a way of being unprotected so that God can come in.

	Apostolic poverty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Apostolic poverty is a doctrine professed by various religious orders, primarily those sprung from the mendicant orders of the Middle Ages in direct response to the call for reforms in the Roman Catholic Church.
		The doctrine was seen as a challenge to the wealth of the church and the ensuing corruption it brought.
		Francis of Assisi formed the Franciscans to emulate the poverty of Jesus Christ and to bring his message through a simple life and example.

	Poverty
		It is difficult to speak of poverty or suffering without personal experience, or without at least having been close to the poor and their suffering in the style of the good Samaritan of the Gospel (Lk 10:29– 37).
		Thus the poverty of those who are poor seems to be the exact opposite of wealth, and the result of the selfish indifference and injustice of the well-to-do.
		Montfort required apostolic poverty of his collaborators and missionaries (RM 10–19), and he strove to inculcate it by means of precise rules concerning house, way of life, alms from the faithful, Mass offerings, etc. Every material preoccupation was to be eliminated through the effect of abandonment to Providence.

		Their work embraced devoted service in the abodes of sickness and poverty, earnest preaching by both priests and lay brothers, and missions in an ever widening circle, which finally included heretics and Mohammedans.
		The former, based upon the idea of poverty and self-denying labor in the cause of Christ, was intended for an association of a similar kind to the Pauperes Catholici or "Poor Men of Lyons." It had little or nothing in common with the older monastic rules, Benedictine or Augustinian.
		The Benedictine section of the Celestines was separated from the Franciscan section, and the latter was formally suppressed by Boniface in 1302.

	Apostolici
		The sect of the Apostolics, or false Apostles, was started in 1260, at Parma, Italy, by an ignorant man of low extraction named Gerard Segarelli (also written Segalelli, Sagarelli, Cicarelli), who strove to reproduce the life of the Apostles.
		Their characteristic from the start was a declaration of a return to the life, and especially the poverty, of the Apostles.
		Dulcin's tenets were: the imitation of Apostolic life; poverty was to be absolute, obedience, interior; and one engaged himself, though by no vow, to live by alms.

		The Congregation of the Missionaries of St. Charles (Scalabrinians) is an apostolic community of religious that shares in the missionary activity Christ continues in the Church for the realization of the plan of God in the world and in history.
		Apostolic tasks or positions that do not fall directly within the specific purpose of the Congregation may, by way of exception, be continued or accepted upon the judgment of the Provincial Administration and the approval of the General Administration.
		Imitating the early apostolic communities, which expressed their fellowship by devoting themselves to the prayers and the breaking of bread, we look on the Eucharist and prayer in common as the very heart of our community life and its loftiest expression, as well as the source of our commitment to evangelization.

		For him, poverty is an essential part of the Christian's armor, especially for the apostle whose is called to be champion for and witness of the Kingdom among the poor.
		In them, poverty is not presented as pure ascetical detachment and even less as a juridical dependency, but rather it is presented as an attitude of simplicity and welcoming, an attitude of concrete affective association with the humble, and genuine communion with the poor.
		Apostolic poverty, then, consists in the evangelical use of such goods, so that the message of the Gospel is not distorted and that in the life of the missionary and the evangelizing community it is clearly manifest that the one treasure sought is Christ and the benefits of salvation he brought mankind.

		In poverty, which is nothing else but sister of the humility by which the soul becomes like the eye, which sees everything save only itself, a new organ was obtained for contemplating God and the world.
		When the new factor of apostolic life was introduced into the ideal of poverty and ascetic self-denial, the ideal acquired an enormous immanent power for propagandism, a power such as monachism had never before possessed, and which does not belong — either formerly or now — to its distinctive nature.
		But the principle of “poverty” embraced not only an ascetically religious, but also a social and anti-hierarchical, nay, even a political ideal, for the neutral state could be regarded as the power that had to deprive the Church of her property, or, in the event of her being recalcitrant, to execute judgment upon her.

	Triptych
		Apostolic poverty is total availability, which translates the demands of metanoia even to the structural level of government, to the control of property, and, most especially, to the demands of mission.
		Community life expressed in community apostolate (the mission) and in community prayer is clearly the rule of the founder, both in the course of missions and during the summer “rest” (RM 28-35; 67-78).
		Poverty for St. Louis de Montfort is an expression of apostolic detachment and its roots are found in following the example of Jesus who from his riches made himself poor.51 The apostle loves the company of the voluntarily poor Christ, so that the follower of Jesus can also minister to the poor.

		Ockham helped defend this life of Apostolic poverty against Pope John XXII, and after doing a full review of the Pope's views, he declared him a heretic and unfit to be Pope.

		Dominic took traditional elements in the Church-the apostolic life, priests living in community, regular discipline of the monastic Orders, liturgical prayer sung in community, preaching pursued in poverty-and fused them into a balanced unity that enabled his Order to meet the needs of his age and of many centuries to come.
		It returned to the Scriptures and apostolic times as the sources of its inspiration and for the answers to great abuses, particularly among a clergy who were often ignorant, incontinent, without zeal, and who seldom preached.
		In their zeal some of them fell into error, making the extreme claim that apostolic poverty is an indispensable condition for preaching and the valid administration of the sacraments.

		Sensibility to poverty is nothing new, either in the Church or in the religious life.

	Samuel E. Torvend: The Bible and Lay Spirituality in the Middle Ages
		In the High Middle Ages, lay spirituality, expressed in devotion to poverty and to preaching, was nourished by the word of the Bible presented orally and visually.
		Poverty, however, was not merely honored among the Poor of Lyons; it soon constituted their claim to be the true successors of the apostles.
		Intimately bound to the ideal of poverty was the practice of itinerant preaching.

		The Vow of Poverty is most excellent in and of itself: "They who give alms sacrifice to God a part of what they possess; whereas they who vow poverty offer Him a perpetual holocaust" (St. Gregory).
		The Vow of Poverty relieves the Religious from the unceasing anxieties, disquieting desires and endless schemes which are inseparable from the management of temporal affairs.
		Apostolic poverty is very exacting, because it means a life dependent on Divine Providence and on our fellow man. It refuses to put its trust in money or in the power that money can give.

	Life: 1. On the following of Christ
		Since poverty imposes on so many people the necessity of strenuous labor for simple livelihood, our brethren must give a powerful collective witness publicly by working energetically in their apostolic service, by living sensibly from an often uncertain income, and by gladly sharing their goods with those less fortunate.
		By their religious consecration and apostolic vocation, the brethren are urged more than the rest of the faithful to deny themselves, take up their cross, and to proclaim in body and soul the death of Jesus, and thus they shall gain for themselves and for others the glory of the resurrection.
		The cooperator brothers have a role in the apostolate of the whole community not only by their work of providing for the needs of the convent but also by a ministry properly so called both by working with the priests and by engaging in their own apostolic activity according to their talents.

		Rarely has there been such consensus about the urgency of the poverty agenda; rarely has there been such consensus on the fundamental approaches which are required to fight poverty; rarely has there been such a consensus that we have the means available to achieve our goal.

		John finally struck at the root of Franciscan poverty by refusing to separate use in fact from the right of use; consumption also meant dominion; the usufruct of anything consumed went with the right to consume it: ownership must be with him who exercised the right.
		In the apostolic poverty controversy, William of Ockham represents this latter position of passive rights and Jean Gerson represents the former position advocating rights in the active sense.
		If the historical significance of Gerson and the use of rights language within the apostolic poverty controversy was in its originality, the significance of the use of rights language in the sixteenth century retrieval of Thomas Aquinas lies in its effect on the development of international law.

		According to Wolf, Francis’s conception of voluntary poverty as a spiritual discipline opened a new way to salvation for the rich, but prevented the poor from using their own involuntary poverty as a means to securing salvation.
		Besides being excluded from the spiritual benefits of poverty, the poor also received little benefit from Francis’s apostolic poverty.
		Their voluntary poverty meant that they had no wealth—so they themselves owned nothing to give to the poor.
