Pleasure without conscience.
Knowledge without character.
Commerce without morality.
Science without humanity.
Religion without sacrifice.
Politics without principle.
- Mohandas Gandhi
Should he be considered an honorary Franciscan?
Pax et bonum
These are the reflections of a Secular Franciscan. I look not only at my own spiritual journey, but also at issues of life, economic and social justice, morality, the arts, and more through the lens of Franciscan Spirituality.

I do not understand why "Wealth without work" is a deadly social sin.
Because it has not been earned.
I believe that wealth without work is likely to separate us from relationships, isolate us in comfort. We forget the gift of compassion, and death comes slowly, as the frog in the gradually heated saucepan. Punishment does not come from outside of us, but from within. (Mk 7:21-23?) Pax et Bonum!
John - I like your response even better than mine!
