A Secular Franciscan looks at the world...

A fruitless discussion?

Sins of the Wallet

"Economic hard times are always times of soul-searching. The Register felt it was important to look at the moral dimensions of the economic downturn and asked several prominent Catholic thinkers, "What sins got us into this mess, and what virtues are required to get us out of it?""
I'm not sure that they wouldn't be using the wrong language for the financial sector. I don't think they think in terms of 'virtues' and 'sins', or even what the words mean...
