Preferential option for the poor = in my 'umble opinion is very well-meaning but massively tainted by 'the church' (Protestant and Catholic) when you look at who they invest money with (e.g. Wonga) and who they collect money/donations from (i.e. predominately those with the least). In short, the 'preferential option for the poor' is a political statement unfulfilled (and, I would venture, never honestly intended to be).
Sorry if that is too preachy!
