The problem is, of course, that is NOT what Christ said at all. What He really
said was:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Mat 5:3 RSVA)
Not the same at all. 'Blessed' is NOT the same as 'happy'. Nor is "poor in
spirit" the same as 'simple-hearted'.
Now what do you think it _really_ says about this "Brother Roger" that he
perverted the sense of Scripture so recklessly? Do you think that perhaps THIS
was why he was so popular?

This doctrine, like so many, has no "brief" definition. A fact you
already well
know by your long answers to this group. A place to start is in the
following
article:

Also in the articles by Augustine on CCEL.ORG.
