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.
