Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace Offers Considerations for Global Financial Community

The Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace recently issued a document offering some thoughts on the challenges facing the global financial community. The release of this document, “Towards Reforming the International Financial and Monetary Systems in the Context of a Global Public Authority,” led to a number of comments by people of diverse political/economic stances - many of which appeared to be offered by persons who have not read the document (as, unfortunately, so often happens when papal encyclicals and other Church documents are released.
