Bilgrimage: Droppings from the Catholic Birdcage: Paul Ryan and "Give Me Thomas Aquinas" - 0 views

isabella R on 12 Aug 12Is Paul Ryan aware that Aquinas wrote, When one man has excess wealth (that is, property and wealth which are beyond his legitimate needs) while another is in poverty (lacking material necessities), the rich man is a thief. The excess he possesses belongs to the poor man and, if he refuses to distribute his wealth accordingly, he plays the part of the "rich fool" in the Gospel parable (Summa Theologiae II-II, q. 66)?
