[QUOTE="Archived_Member16, post: 155355, member: 884"] [COLOR="Navy"][B][SIZE="5"]Vatican releases ‘strange remedy’ to global financial crisis[/SIZE][/B] Charles Lewis Oct 24, 2011 – 6:48 PM ET | Last Updated: Oct 24, 2011 6:50 PM ET Pronouncements by the Roman Catholic Church are normally filled with enough nuance to set off great theological debates about what the words might actually mean. But a statement released Monday with suggestions on how to repair the global “financial crisis” goes the other way. It abandons nuance in favour of concrete economic proposals that put the Church in the new territory of offering advice on creating new global institutions. Note on Financial Reform from the Pontifical Council for Justice & Peace has quickly set off a debate about whether the Church is on the right track or is in way over its head on matters in which it has no real expertise or competence. The document warns it would be an error to try to find solutions that are primarily of a technical nature, yet the Vatican offers highly technical solutions. It suggests the setting up of a new global economic authority to oversee relations between nations and a “central world bank” that would regulate the flow of international monetary exchanges. “The document is schizophrenic,” said Kishore Jayabalan, who used to work for the Pontifical Council for Justice & Peace. “The Church has always taught that the problems are best solved at the lowest level so this is a strange remedy. This doesn’t even feel like a Catholic document,” added Mr. Jayabalan, who now runs the Rome office of the Michigan-based Acton Institute, which studies the relation between economics and theology. “I think the first question anybody who knows anything about economics would ask is, ‘On what basis would you think a global authority would work better than a national authority?’ The scope and scale of the global economy is so large that it can’t be managed. It can only be regulated at much more local level where you have some control.” The Church has always railed against economic injustice through appealing to morality and conscience. But this document goes so far to suggest taxing global financial transactions and subsidizing banks “conditional on virtuous behaviours.” Mr. Jayabalan and others have pointed out the document is a Vatican “note” and therefore lacks the teaching authority of a papal encyclical. However, Father Thomas Reese, a senior fellow at the Woodstock Theological Center in Washington, says out the justice and peace department would not issue something that did not agree with Pope Benedict’s thinking. He noted, too, that Cardinal Peter Turkson, the department’s head, is close to the pontiff. In part, the document blames present economic problems on the myriad speculative financial instruments that have often nothing to do with the real economy of providing goods and services. “The purpose of the public authority … is first and foremost to serve the common good,” it says. “This is especially true in a globalized world which makes individuals and peoples increasingly interconnected and interdependent, but which also reveals the existence of monetary and financial markets of a predominantly speculative sort that are harmful for the real economy, especially of the weaker countries.” Father Oliver Williams, an associate professor of management at University of Notre Dame, in Terre Haute, Ind., said the document is meant to force readers into thinking about the world’s economic problems, especially that of extreme poverty. Its proposals are just suggestions, he said. “The goal is to be provocative and challenge people to come up with suggestions of their own.” William Doyle, associate professor of economic at the University of Dallas, a conservative Catholic school, said the Vatican’s thoughts on a global economic authority and a world central bank make perfect sense, given the reality of the times we live in. In the history of the world, people have evolved from tribes to feudal states and then nation states. So it is only natural that further evolution take place as the world becomes more complicated, he said. “International capital mobility is way beyond the scope of any national government to regulate or control in any way, shape or form — yet these international flows play a huge role in determining people’s standard of living. So some sort of supra-national entity seems to be called for to impose some form of order. “Every other moral principle [in today’s international economy] has gone by the board except that free markets determine what gets done. Implicit in this document is a challenge to that.” [B]National Post[/B] • Email: [email]clewis@nationalpost.com[/email] | Twitter: [B]source:[/B] [url]http://life.nationalpost.com/2011/10/24/vatican-offers-%E2%80%98strange-remedy%E2%80%99-to-global-financial-crisis/[/url][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
