John McDonnell influenced by Hélder Câmara

In the current issue of The Tablet John McDonnell, UK shadow chancellor and lifelong Labour Party member quotes the well-known sound bite from the late Archbishop Hélder Câmara:

"When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint.

"When I ask why they are poor, they call me a communist".

McDonnell was born and educated a Catholic, enthralled by the Second Vatican Council. Today he does not believe in God.
