Is interest theft? If so, it’s wrong. If not, it’s ok.

This has continuing relevance, I think. Much of the "banksterism" of international agencies and multinational corporations consists of "predatory lending" on a global scale,

We need a better definition of usury, which is definitely a sin. It was consistently denounced by the Propehets of Israel and the Fathers of the Church.

I don't believe that's the same as ordinary interest, which is a kind of financial services fee.
