Pope: Greed Triggered Economic Crisis

April 26, 2009 - 2:45pm

On Wednesday, the Pope addressed the economic crisis by encouraging us to resist the spirit of greed. My paraphrase: "Having stuff is not the highest good."

"It is precisely greed that insinuates to us that having is the highest good"

"There are many different ways to live, but people, including the rich, must fight against greed, against the desire for appearances, and be against the false sense of freedom," which leads people to think whatever they desire is at their disposal, he said.
