With release of the Pope’s encyclical, the forces who actively defend greed as good for everyone have been scrambling to shelter unfettered capitalism and free market ideology from the harsh light of Christian theology. As Jesus says, when the light of the gospel shines the sinners scatter. Greed defenders have their work cut out for them.
We talk about being leaders in the home, church and in our businesses, but the process of growing more like Jesus is not a topic for polite conversation.
