A
theory that makes profit the exclusive norm and ultimate end of economic
activity is morally unacceptable. the disordered desire for money cannot but
produce perverse effects. It is one of the causes of the many conflicts which
disturb the social order.²⁰³
A system that “subordinates the basic rights of individuals and of groups
to the collective organization of production” is contrary to human
dignity.²⁰⁴ Every practice that reduces persons to nothing more than a
means of profit enslaves man, leads to idolizing money, and contributes to the
spread of atheism. “You cannot serve God and mammon.”²⁰⁵
