The teaching that is required is to respect property rights [and consequently human rights]. Sheesh. That is a whole barrel of worms. Who owns what? How did you get it? What if in the history of successive custody of a particular property there is a break in the legitimate ownership. In other words, the property was stolen. In any case the worship and hoarding of property is not consistent with our Christian heritage. Pope John Paul II did not have any earthly possessions to pass on. I think there is a big hole in your philosophy if you begin with property rights (possessions) as being at the core of our civilization. Come to think of it, property rights may be the root cause of all evil. In any case, don't let me stop you from searching for the truth. Even though I mostly disagree with your outlook, I think you are one of the few people around that has the intelligence to find some real answers. (But so far, you have mostly wasted your time with trivial pursuits GGGGG ).
