    On Usury And Other Dishonest Profit

     

    http://www.papalencyclicals.net/Ben14/b14vixpe.htm

     

    usury |ˈyoō zh (ə)rē|
    noun
    the illegal action or practice of lending money at unreasonably high rates of interest.

     

    Pope Benedict XIV   November 1, 1745

    (Church condemned usurious lending practices.)

     

    "One cannot condone the sin of usury"

     

    "Should any one think like  this (approve of usury), he will oppose not only the judgment of the Catholic Church on usury, but  also common human sense and natural reason."

     

    "First of all, show your people with persuasive words that the sin and vice  of usury is most emphatically condemned in the Sacred Scriptures"
