Well, he didn't say "seeking profit is bad." His message is "only" seeking profit is bad.

And that's correct. If distributing porn is more profitable than distributing legit entertainment -- if doing abortions is more profitable than doing prenatal care --- if transplanting your operation to Mexico is more profitable than operating in Texas ---

I don't think we want to come out for "only" profits.

Ah, but then we would be conceding that the left had some sort of point after all /gentle irony.

Francis’ response to Donald Trump is one that should bring hope. That Francis didn’t pan Trump.

People are meant by God to share, but that presupposes that they are also free to gain, in order to get into a position to share. Not even God is expecting blood from turnips. The bible says so. Let those who are rich in this world not put their confidence in riches but instead be generous and willing to share — it doesn’t say anything about being ashamed of the riches, but rather about the uses to which they should be put.

If this were all going on for the sake of gospel — the salvational news about Jesus Christ — we wouldn’t have our current difficulties with secular governments clumsily trying to fill that void.
