    A Catholic Framework for Economic Life   
      
    A Statement of the U.S. Catholic Bishops   
      
    November 1996   
      
    As followers of Jesus Christ and participants in a powerful   
    economy, Catholics in the United States are called to work for   
    greater economic justice in the face of persistent poverty,   
    growing income-gaps, and increasing discussion of economic   
    issues in the United States and around the world. We urge   
    Catholics to use the following ethical framework for economic   
    life as principles for reflection, criteria for judgment and   
    directions for action. These principles are drawn directly from   
    Catholic teaching on economic life.   
      
    1. The economy exists for the person, not the person for the   
    economy.   
      
    ...   
      
    Somehow I suspect your thinking is shallow compared to these   
    bishops.
