Red Frank is at it again...
Finances for the Catholic Church are cratering. I’ve seen some documentation of the internals. They are flailing and starting to do ANYTHING that they feel might bring people back to the collection basket.
Holy Father, please guide us as to when job cuts are unjust.
If you read what I posted you will see it is about not paying work for labor done. Not about letting laborers go once the work is done. The reason the work is done is moot.
The Wackadoodle Pope!
But the article isn’t about not paying workers for work done.
It’s about cutting jobs.
Anyway, yes, it is wrong, sin, to not pay people for the work they’ve done.
But it’s completely up to the discretion of the employer about what jobs to do. If they want to or need to cut jobs, that’s their prerogative.
I know. I was trying to show that the only Scripture reference I found on how to treat workers, does not mention job cutting at all. So for the Pope to claim cutting jobs unjustly (rather a subjective definition) is a grave sin is meaningless cause who decides what is just or unjust? Certainly there is no Biblical reference for that definition as far as I know.
I see.
You’re right. The whole concept of unjust job cuts is just weird.
What the hack does that even mean.
How can a job cut be *unjust*? If you don’t need the workers, you don’t need the workers. Or if you have to cut expenses, you have to cut them.
What he’s proposing is taking away from the business owner the right to run his business as he sees fit.
