About this sermon

Ever wondered why the Church doesn't condemn the stock market? Colin Donovan dives into Catholic social teaching on interest and economics. He lays out the difference between "usury" (sinful interest) and fair interest. Discover how the Church views the role of interest in capitalism and the importance of justice and charity in financial dealings. Explore papal encyclicals (like those by Pope St. John Paul II) for a deeper understanding. Did the Church change it's teaching on usury? https://catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/did-the-church-change-its-stance-on-usury Full episode: https://youtube.com/live/Xv0axvrn_MI More Catholic Answers: https://catholic.com Donate: https://givecatholic.com
