This post is a departure from our normal homily format. The Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace yesterday offered a document that gives some guidance on solving the worldwide financial crisis. It suggests a kind of United Nations of finance to oversee the world of money.
It’s great to have some guidance from a moral perspective in this sticky and troublesome area. We at Great Catholic Homilies have put the document on a PDF for easy printing and reading. Read Vatican – Reforming the International Financial and Monetary Systems.
You can also read the document online and listen to an interview of Cardinal Peter Turkson, Secretary of the Council, on Vatican Radio.
