“Economics ... is the science of tracing the effects of some proposed or existing policy not only on some special interest in the short run, but on the general interest in the long run.”

The First Great Depression

Timeline of the Great Depression (Under Construction)

 

    President Andrew Jackson, in discussing the Bank Renewal bill with a delegation of bankers in 1832,  said, "Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time, and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out."

Church Documents on Economics and Morality
Popes, Bishops, Priests, and Religious—much like Politicians— often write about what "ought to be," without careful consideration of how what ought to be can be achieved in actual practice, and what secondary effects it will produce—one cannot change economic reality by decree.  Particularly with some of the earlier documents, one must recognize that the use and nature of money has changed over the centuries.

Post Vatican II—Caveat lector
Politely stated, the Vatican II era represents "a Gestalt shift" in the Catholic approach to reality—less politely, one would say "a heresy."  The Modernism condemned by Pope Saint Pius X in Pascendi  and the Marxism and Existentialism condemned by Pope Pius XII in Humani generis are evident in many of the writings of the period.  Modernism, Marxism, and Existentialism all assume a flexible reality dependent on human actions, opinions, and consensus, quite at odds with the fixed reality in the mind of an unchanging God.  "Caveat lector—let the reader beware."
