Somewhere along the line someone subverted Christian morality and made being poor and weak and sick a virtue, when it it clear Jesus's mission was to eliminate those things.
Nietzsche has a lot more to say on this.
Seems to have happened right along the time the (((Scofield Bible))) went mainstream, because the Church actually burned some monks at the stake for claiming poverty was inherently virtuous, which of course it clearly isnt. Actually, the official teaching of the Church is that any voluntary spiritual weakness is an evil, so poverty is only good if its being utilized to become more detached from physical things, as opposed to someone becoming poor because they dont want to work (which is evil, because its the result of sloth).
