The Pope and the Entrepreneur

This interesting commentary by Dr. Samuel Gregg points out, in regard to the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church recently released by the Vatican:

"Any fair reading of the Compendium will suggest that a proper attention and a positive evaluation of business has been firmly cemented into Catholic social teaching..." citing in part #344 from the Compedium:

“The roles of business owners and management have a central importance from the viewpoint of society, because they are at the heart of that network of technical, commercial, financial and cultural bonds that characterizes the modern business reality”
