'+Description+': The question arises, from the earlier Constitutions, and varied subsequent usage, of the difference between 'poor, poorer, the poorest' especially in the early Constitutions' Chapter on Purpose. The following insights are from Lenti, Don Bosco History and Spirit Vol 4. In the Chapter on Purpose, the term occurs in various grammatical forms...The Latin forms ''pauperes, pauperiores, pauperrimi'' (Italian ''poveri, pił poveri, i pił poveri/poverssimi'') constitute a system having a twofold semantic value. These forms may be used either in an 'asbolute' fashion as quantifiers, or in a 'relative' fashion as classifiers...As quantifiers they express the quantity or intensity of a person's poverty 'absolutely', that is without comparison to the poverty of other persons. As quantifiers the three forms express degrees of poverty by reference to a social standard. As classifiers the three forms express degrees of poverty in relation to a person or group. (where 'poorer' might mean 'less well off'). 'poor, poorer, poorest' in the chapter on Purpose, and indeed throughout the Constitutions, are used as quantifiers, not as classifiers. It was not Don Bosco's intention to classify young people by the criterion of poverty and to choose the poorest of all to the exclusion of others.

'+Context (examples of use)+': Let us never forget that we exist for poor and abandoned boys (Don Bosco's Spiritual Testament)
