Yesterday, the Pope called for a rethinking of economic policy. A good reason to deal with the current misunderstandings and deliberate misrepresentations clean up:
The Catholic Church is not on the side of the anti-capitalists, socialists, interventionists and statists, but sanctifies private property, even if it is misused or abused. Pope Pius XI confirmed this with reference to the encyclical Rerum Novarum in Quadragesimo Anno, (§ 47). This unshakable conviction is a manifestation of the essential Christian ethics from God's image and uniqueness of each person. For this personality of the people, of course, the human existence is at all times, namely in the past, present and future. The ownership of each person manifests itself here in the past, so in the performance of his life. Two, the ten commandments deal with the sanctity of private property, namely, the seventh and the ninth commandment.
The Catholic social teaching, in response to the industrialization 19th Century is not a guide to action for expropriations, government intervention and planning, on the contrary
, Pope Leo XIII in the decisive for the Catholic social teachings encyclical Rerum Novarum, (§ 12): "In all the experiments, aufzuhelfen the lower classes, that is as principle to hold that private property is to leave untouched. "
In the 20th Century, Pope John XXIII, "that private property ... protect the human right to liberty and are thus making an essential contribution to building the right social order needs."
most clearly, however, Pope John Paul II occurs in the encyclical Centesimus Annus, (§ 42) for the free market economy: "A society in which private property is inviolable, we can call a fully free society and its economic aspect, free market or free market economy are cited. If such an economy is perfected by Christian charity, it promotes truly economic and social progress. "
with a rethink of economic policy for the real Catholic doctrine, therefore, the rejection constant, manipulative intervention in the meant by private property and freedom of contract marked economic activity . Christianity condemns currency manipulation and inflation. This view goes back to the St. Thomas Aquinas and the Scholastics of the late Middle Ages, such as Bishop Nicholas of Oresme back to the former, even primitive currency manipulation of the princes (secret deterioration of the coin quality) as the outflow of the Antichrist with the consequences of an unpredictable general moral decay . saw
Not the infantile superstition of the alleged collective greed of the Manager, companies, investors or speculators is therefore triggered by economic crises, but bloated state budgets, heavily indebted countries, their debts only by means of inflation, with the interest rate manipulation by central banks and tax increases, finance so at the expense of private property of its citizens.
The true Catholic doctrine has always rejected, therefore, from political abuse of power, even if he was coming dressed in the garb of the redistributive welfare state. Pope John Paul II said in Centesimus Annus, (§ 48) unequivocally: "The welfare state, which engages directly and the company denied their responsibility triggers the loss of human energy and the swelling from the state apparatus, the more of bureaucratic logic of an effort to be controlled to serve the beneficiaries, hand in hand an enormous increase in expenditure. As it seems, knows the person who actually need more and is able to meet the upcoming needs better, and her closest neighbor to those in need. It must be added that often require a certain kind of needs not simply material response, but that it is important to hear the deeper human need. "
