Pope Defends Rights of Man against Usury and Looting
by Carol White
The Papal Encyclical Sollictudo Rei Socialis, published on Feb. 18, 1988, is a major statement by the Pope on the rights of man in the modern period. It is meant to address a situation in which whole sections of the globe have been scheduled for destruction, by oligarchical financial institutions which put the “sanctity” of their power literally before the most basic rights of all men to feed their families and provide a future for their children, and their children’s children. An introduction by Carol White.
