Amazing and important work being done by this community in the true spirit of Catholic Social Teaching.

Remember that usury is still a sin, and most interest rates charged in the modern era are borderline usurous, if not explicitly so. We, as the People of God, are meant to witness to the world a way of living that stands in notable contrast to the ways of the world, and thus point to the Kingdom of God. This includes banking and finances.

Big thanks to Michelle and The Pillar for giving me my daily dose of "cool, I never this existed!"

The St. Vincent de Paul Society is doing something very similar to this in different dioceses across the United States. I live in Dallas so I am aware of what we do locally, but I believe there are others across the United States.
