The Pope that half of the SBC would have beheaded if they were allowed to? I bet you go to one of those liberal Methodist churches.

It's why I provided a link to photos like this. Apparently the Pope did meet with the homeless, including at this Catholic Charities event, but was also photographed by a lot of non-homeless people with phones. I didn't want to say all that outright and ruin your joke.

The homeless with smart phones meme is played out.

Many homeless are not unemployed, or living on the street destitute. Most have jobs, but do not make enough to sign a lease so they live in motels or on a friend's sofa.
Phone can be pretty cheap these days, and are necessity for almost any kind of work.
It seems that the point you are alluding to is that homeless are not truly bad off until they are huddling naked in some alleyway awaiting an imminent demise.
That said, I'd rather be homeless in America than a third world country.

It was just a joke.

Whether or not there's some logical explanation for homeless people having smartphones, it's still humorously ironic.
Further, I have no idea if the people in that picture are actually homeless. I found the picture on the internet...it might not even be recent.
