DP 250 When the worshiper of self and nature sees impious people living in luxury and magnificence, while worshipers of God live in poverty

Divine Providence # 250 Explaining contemporary reasons people deny Divine Providence
“(2) That the worshiper of self and worshiper of nature confirms himself against Divine Providence when he sees impious people raised to positions of honor and becoming great men and prelates, abounding as well in riches and living in luxury and magnificence, while worshipers of God are held in contempt and live in poverty”
