II. Respect for Persons and Their Goods
Jesus blesses Zacchaeus for his pledge: “If I have defrauded anyone
of anything, I restore it fourfold.”192 Those who, directly or
indirectly, have taken possession of the goods of another, are obliged to make
restitution of them, or to return the equivalent in kind or in money, if the
goods have disappeared, as well as the profit or advantages their owner would
have legitimately obtained from them. Likewise, all who in some manner have
taken part in a theft or who have knowingly benefited from it – for example,
those who ordered it, assisted in it, or received the stolen goods – are
obliged to make restitution in proportion to their responsibility and to their
share of what was stolen.
