милосердии и благотворительности
would it be best to translate it to mercy and charity, even if the word mercy is rarely used in this context in English anymore (except perhaps by some religious organizations)?
Or would it be better to translate it to something more along the lines of charity and benevolence?
Thank you

: Or charity and philanthropy. I don't much like 'benevolence' - it's far too abstract.

: Lenity=being lenient. Being lenient towards poor people is rather Dickensian, don't you think? They can't help being poor, those sorry b----rds!
