text: "...MT and the preservation of wealth...."
  
  Rather reductionist, isn't it? I mean, which magisterial teaching?? There are several, so many, many from earlier traditions. And then to link them all -- down through the centuries in one continued stay, as it were -- to money is, well, simplistic. No doubt, on a lower scale, the Declaration of Independence,  US Constitution and Bill of Rights can be linked to money, too, and to capitalism and, maybe,  to some yellow-brick mountain. So reductionist. A flower pinned to a skirt is more than just a dead plant to the giver and receiver. There is so much more between the teaching church and the believer -- just as there is (in the Gospel) between the fish that jumped in the stretched nets of Peter and the fish in some other fisherman's nets. It's where we are behind our words, posts, and actions -- as believers or non-believers.
