True. But I do not think that these are the standards describing the situaion that priest has had on his mind. I take it as grnated that he means simple realities like food when the stomach is burning, water when you are thirsty, warmth when the snow is falling, and shelter from the elements.

There must be a line that separates the need from luxury, yes. Cigarettes is luxury. But what about that guy you have seen on the streets, he smells ten meters against the wind, all his possessions in two plastic bags - and the little dog by his feet, staying with him in unshakable loyalty? That dog does nothing to secure his material survival. But do you have the heart to take that dog away from him because it needs food, too - maybe the only being on earth that cares for this man anymore, and to whom he has a caring, loving relation?

Man does not live by bread alone.
